Kids On The Catwalk - A Huge Success!

On Monday 15th November, Moor Hall children put on a great show with Kids on the Catwalk. Family came to watch their children, brothers and sisters strutting their stuff on the catwalk and performing various routines.

It was a brilliant night - well done to all who took part!

Moor Hall Fundraising - Part 2!

As a group that works towards raising extra funds for school, the PA appreciates that not everyone has time to spare to attend meetings, run events or wants to get involved. However, there is an incredibly simple way in which anyone who shops online can help raise money for the school.

Easyfundraising.org.uk is a shopping directory listing over 2000 of the UK's best known retailers including Argos, Amazon, NEXT, Debenhams, John Lewis, Boots, The Entertainer, Toys R Us, HMV, Comet, Virgin Holidays and even eBay! Just use the links on the easyfundraising site whenever you shop online and, at no extra cost to you, the PA will receive a free donation of up to 15% from every purchase you make! All you have to do is register on the site (which is totally free) as supporting Moor Hall Parents' Association, and not only will you not spend a penny over what you would of anyway, you may even save money as many retailers offer discounts, special offers and e-vouchers exclusively through easyfundraising.

The potential for extra income for the PA for no extra work is huge (the school received a cheque for £154.88 for April - June!) and as Christmas approaches it's a great time of year to start using this directory!

Quick Sign up:
1) Click the easyfundraising logo above (or click here).
2) Enter "Moor Hall Parents Association" into the search. Make sure you pick the correct one, as Moor First School Parents Association may also appear!
3) Fill in your details and click 'register' - that's all there is to it!


You don't have to have a child at Moor Hall to raise money for our Parents Association so please encourage friends, grandparents and work colleagues to register too! (If they wish to change & support another cause at any point they can do so). Also, by using the FREE FUNDS section, you can earn over £100.00 right away without spending a penny - some retailers make FREE donations for participating in trials, switching to their service or even for just registering your email address with them!

How to Shop with Easyfundraising
1) Log into easyfundraising with your email address and password - this is how they know who you are and which cause you are supporting.
2) Next, click any of the links provided on the website to visit your chosen retailer - you can use the retailer search function or browse by category.

3) Finally, shop with the retailer directly and complete your transaction online, once the sale is confirmed your funds will appear on the myaccount section.

They will send a cheque out to the school every quarter - it really is that easy!

HAPPY SHOPPING...... And here's hoping you can help us to raise extra £££'s from the comfort of your own home!!

If you have any queries, please speak to Jennie Hill or Lisa Martin.

Moor Hall Fundraising - With a Few Clicks of Your Mouse!

Want to help Moor Hall raise money for new events, activities and future developments?

By simply using "Moor Hall Easysearch" instead of using your standard search engine, you could be building up funds for Moor Hall Primary School.

How does it work?
Every time you use the search, advertisers pay Easysearch, but 50% of that money is then paid back to Moor Hall Parents Association. The Parents Association can then use that money in a way that benefits the school.

Click on the picture to give it a go. A link has also been placed permanantly on the right-hand-side of the blog, under 'Help Moor Hall Primary!', so it will always be accessible from here. Remember that you can always set Moor Hall easysearch as your homepage or even more conveniently (and less obtrusively) add it to your browser as a search bar in the top right!

Thanks in advance for all your searches!
