Milton Keynes Winter Half · 7 December 2019

The F.R.O.G.S (Friends of Greenleas School) PTA group organise events and initiatives to raise money for the school. Our current focus is to raise funds to improve outdoor play spaces to enhance learning and development in a fun and safe environment while getting that all important fresh air.

Story

I’m running this December to raise funds in support of our local primary. It’s a great school, which, like many others, has been forced to make staffing cuts as a result of a shortfall in Council funding.

As a result of this year's staffing cuts which have included a reduction in the number of teaching assistant hours, Greenleas are now more reliant than ever on parent helpers to come in and read with children. I can't volunteer my time, unfortunately, so I'm trying to do my bit by running a half marathon on December 8th to raise some cash for the PTA instead! It won't fund more staff, but it will help the PTA to continue the fantastic work they do in supporting the school through providing play areas and equipment and subsidising  trips and visits.

Every little helps, so if you can spare a couple of quid, I'd be very grateful!

Oh, and if this makes you as cross as it does me, then do please write to your local MP!!
