Many thanks to the PTA for their tremendous efforts at the Otley Victorian Christmas Fayre on Sunday.
This was our first stall at the fayre and an incredible £601.45 was raised!! Many thanks to all those who helped on the stall,donated items on the home clothes day or visited our stall on the day. The money raised will go towards outdoor equipment and subsidising school trips for all children.
Our Christmas Carol Service on Wednesday was a lovely festive event. Thank you to all those who were able to come along and join in with the carols. Well done to all of our readers who read beautifully.
