Chalfont St Giles Infant School & Nursery Newsletter – 11^th February 2005
Newsletters:	Dear Parents/Friends/Guardians 11^th February 2005 It is half-term next week and I hope the children all enjoy a relaxing and well-deserved break. We look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 21^st February. Sainsbury Active Kids Campaign 2005 The School has registered for the Sainsbury Active Kids campaign. From 2^nd March until 30^th June 2005, every £10 a customer spends at Sainsbury’s will earn one Active Kids voucher. These vouchers can then be donated to the school and we can redeem them for equipment, kit and experiences which encourage the children to enjoy being active. For every £5 spent on fresh fruit and vegetables, Sainsbury’s will give customers an extra voucher. If you shop at Sainsbury’s, we would be very grateful if you would donate your vouchers to the school. School Trips School trips have now been organised: please see Dates for Your Diary below. Letters will be sent to parents in due course. NO PARKING in the Memorial Hall Car Park Once again, we ask that you do not park in the Memorial Hall car park at any time. The car park is for the use of staff and hall users only. You will also be aware that driving near to the playground is strongly discouraged for safety reasons – the school crocodile of children walking to school recently expressed concern about parents reversing their cars “dangerously near to the children”. Thank you for your cooperation.

Cottage For safety reasons we would ask you not to allow your children to use the path at the back of the cottage but to use the main path around the front. Thank you.
