In episode 25, I mention how we fundraised for the library and how an artist came in to work with the children to make these animal sculptures - each class made a different one.
Our brand new school library - my most favourite project that the PTA funded at my school.
You can just see the bear at the top of the shelves here, where there are books for older readers and emerging readers.
This is the gift bag that I talked to Eve about in Episode 20 when we discussed running a Festive Giftware evening. find her on www.giftwrappingbyeve.com

PTA+
Find out all about PTA+ in Episode 27, where I chatted to Carol Rogerson who is the editor of the website and the School Fundraising magazine. I think PTA+ is the best website for independent information and support for PTAs. I would highly recommend looking around this website as it's crammed full of information on all sorts of things - fundraisers, step-by-step guides, new ideas and how you run and manage a PTA team. Don't forget to have a read of the School Fundraising magazine which is published 3 times a year. You can also link to FundEd from here which is a searchable database of grant opportunities.
Giftwrapped by Eve
I chatted to my friend Eve in Episode 20 all about her greener gift wrapping business, and how you could run a gift wrapping evening as a PTA fundraiser. Follow Eve on Facebook and Instagram, and contact her for more info on her gift wrapping courses. Many of her courses are run online, so if you wanted to learn better gift wrapping techniques that you could then demonstrate to your school community then that is possible wherever you live.
