Wherever you are on your planning journey, our Summer Fair Checklist contains everything you need to get on track and stay there. If your school is celebrating a big anniversary, there’s a lot the PTA can do to leave a legacy and raise funds at the same time. Find out what four schools did to record their histories. From a kids’ fun run in pyjamas to world champions inspiring the community, there’s sure to be something that sparks an idea in our roundup of active events. By the end of this term, most PTAs are happy to take a well-deserved break. For those who aren’t ready to stop, read our ideas on how to fundraise during the long holidays. All this and more in the summer 2023 issue of PTA+ magazine.
