The Voice Referendum - CJC Fundraising BBQ & Cake Stall
CJC has been selected as an polling station for The Voice Referendum on Saturday, 14 October. The PC will run a cake stall and BBQ fundraiser to raise funds to upgrade the drinking fountains at the school. Gamekeepers have generosly offered to donate the sausages to our BBQ – thank you!
Cake packs with instructions and lables will be sent home with the eldest child of each family next week – please check school bags. Cakes can be donated in the foyer near reception from 8.50 on Friday, 13 October (or you can bring them on the day). We need volunteers for shifts from 8am to around 3.30pm to cook the sausages and sell cakes.
Please help us make this a successful fundraiser for the school and sign up to volunteer here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/17F1GnWTm5JlWPWerll-4lExOrEF8x7Vd/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msexcel
