Fund-raising update

The Bake 'n' Take on Monday/ Tuesday raised £136, a fantastic amount! Thank you to all who contributed, either in sending in some wonderful baking (my husband and son can testify to the taste of the chocolate fudge cake and the chocolate cake lasted approximately one hour in the school staff room after I bought it as a leaving present!) or in buying the baking.

The bags for the Bag2School Recycling Day on 14th November have now been sent out, so maybe half-term could be a time of cleaning and clearing out unwanted items? Clothing, bedding, bags, belts and shoes are all welcome. Please bring them in to school on the morning of 14th November. Last time, we raised £70 from this, so please help us to raise further funds for the outdoor play area.

The next Planning Meeting will be on Monday 11th November at 7.30 p.m. in school. Come along and help sort out details for the Christmas Fayre on 29th November.

Updates

Many thanks to all who provided home baking for the Bake 'n' Take yesterday. We had so much provided that we will be selling again this afternoon (22nd October) at 3 p.m. Please do come along and buy the lovely cakes and buns!

Thanks to everyone who sponsored Mr Felton in the Ring O'Fire event during the summer holidays. The total raised was £295 which is a fantastic amount! Many thanks to Mr Felton, for his willingness to endure great hardship in order to raise funds (this was no ordinary 'sponsored walk'!) and for all who have given so generously.

Please note that the next Planning Meeting will now be on Monday 11th November at 7.30 p.m. (a change to the previously advertised date) and that the Bag2School Recycling Day will be on Thursday 14th November. Bags have been sent out with pupils this week and all items of clothing, bedding, curtains, belts, bags and shoes should be brought in to school on the morning of 14th November only. It's a great opportunity to have a clear-out during half-term!

Coming soon...

Forthcoming fund-raising events are:

Bake 'n' Take Monday 21st October at 3 p.m.
Please bring along your home baking on that Monday and ensure you and your child have money to spend at the end of the day!

Bag2School Recycling Day Thursday 14th November
Bags will be sent out shortly. We need unwanted clothes, bedding, curtains, bags, shoes and belts for this easy way of clearing out your stuff and raising money at the same time!

Christmas Fayre Friday 29th November 3-5 p.m.
This is our main fund-raising event for the second half of term and we need your help NOW! If you can provide items for the food & drink hamper or the toiletries hamper competitions, please send these in to the school office now (remembering to let us know the value of the hamper.) We also need bottles for the 'Lucky Dip' bottle stall.

We hope to have a range of home-made produce, home baking, cards and gifts on sale as well as competitions and games. The cafe will be open to serve refreshments, so we are hoping this will be a great afternoon. Put the date in your diary now!

Planning meeting

Just a reminder that the next FHHS Planning Meeting is on Monday 7th October at 7:30 p.m. in school. Do come along and be involved in making plans for the Christmas Fayre on 29th November.

We still need items for the bottle bank 'Lucky Dip' (any bottles of wine, beer, non-alcoholic drinks or other items that come in a bottle!) and for the two hampers (food/drink and toiletries) as well as volunteers to help with the stalls and to provide home baking. If you can help at all, please let us know at the school office.

Don't forget also that the school's new website has now gone live. You can view it here.
