Priti Patel MP for Witham, joined Howbridge Junior School’s annual summer fair to support the school and the fundraising activities led by parents and volunteers at the Friends of Howbridge Junior School.
The summer fair had many fun activities and stalls for pupils, family and teachers to join in. Priti met with pupils, parents, staff and volunteers, and enjoyed touring the fantastic stalls, games and activities taking place throughout the fair. To support the fundraising efforts, Priti donated a House of Commons prize to the school raffle.
The annual summer fair is an important event in the school calendar, bringing families, staff and the wider community together to celebrate the school and raise funds to support pupils and school activities. The event was organised by the Friends of Howbridge Junior School, whose volunteers work throughout the year to support the school through fundraising and community events.
