Congratulations to Orton School!

08 October 2014

We're delighted to announce the Friends of Orton School in Cumbria as the 'Back to School' PTA STAR! The Friends committee have done an amazing job of rallying the support of their local community and already managed to achieve a campaign participation level of over 100%! And that's before they've even had their 1st draw! This amazing performance means that the supporter base that they have managed to enrol is bigger than the total number of families in the school. The head of the Friends committee was delighted to hear the great news from us and had been so busy drumming up support that they'd not even realised how well they were doing! Here's what the chair said: .......

"The digital leaflets have made it easy for our supporters to sign up on our Facebook page with the click of a few buttons!  We are delighted to hear that we're already above the 100% calculated participation level. One of the best ideas we've had was to post the leaflets through the letterboxes of local residents and put posters up in our community, as a result, we're now seeing our campaign extending well beyond our school gates into the wider community."
