Truro Prep Christmas Fair Tombola Stall

‘Glass Jars for Stained Glass’

The FTS would like, as far as possible, for each family to give a jam jar with a simple gift in

to be used for the tombola stall at the Christmas Fair.

This can be something very simple and inexpensive, eg. hairbands, a small toy, stationery [rubbers, pencils], beads, a small

toy car, a decoration, etc.

All proceeds from the stall will go towards funding a stained glass partition for the new assembly hall.

The idea is to have something moveable to make the assembly hall look more like a place of worship

during assemblies.

Please send your glass jars into school from Monday 27th November
