Congratulations to all of our Stars!
A whopping **102** shoeboxes were loaded on to the Teams4U van on Friday. Already beating our target of 100 boxes, this is an amazing achievement and it's all thanks to you!
Your much-needed and much-appreciated shoeboxes will make their way to Romania and the border of Ukraine next Saturday. Do not despair if you haven't managed to get your shoebox to us just yet - the Teams4U van is very kindly returning next Friday 25th November to collect any remaining boxes. Phew!
Thank you for so much for supporting such a wonderful charity – your gifts of love will change the lives of vulnerable children and families across eastern Europe. The power of the shoebox is huge!
We would like to invite all our parents and carers to a meeting on Thursday 24th November at 3.30pm, to share the approaches and strategies we are teaching the children. We hope that sharing these strategies with our families will benefit our community as a whole.
For those parents attending the meeting, we will be offering childcare for school age children. We will sadly not be able to provide childcare for pre-school children. You may however bring younger siblings with you on the understanding that if your child becomes restless, you will leave the meeting so as not to disturb others.
If you would like to join us to learn more, please see the message sent via the eschools app (sent on 3rd November and titled, "Parent and Carers' meeting 24th November 2022"). You can complete the registration form here to confirm your attendance. We will then be able to ensure we have the right number of seats for you and adult supervision for your children. We would love to see as many of you as possible to continue to work together on this important topic for our children.

Parking at Drop Off and Pick Up
We are so lucky at Alveston that the Football Club allow all our parents who drive to school to use their car park for drop off and pick up. This makes it safer for all our children. Please continue to use the Football Club car park. Please do not park on Knights Lane or Oak Road for pick up or drops offs. Please also ensure that you do not stop or park within the zig-zag "Keep Clear" markings. This area is marked to keep the flow of traffic resuming and to ensure the safety of all pedestrians.
The car park is safer for pedestrians as well as families loading and unloading into cars. Parents have reported an increase in cars parked on Oak Road and many cars have parked on double yellow lines. Please be considerate to the safety of all. Thank you.
