Here's a report from the FOSS team on this week's amazing Children's Christmas Market . A massive thank you from the St Stephen's staff for organising this amazing event - our children absolutely love doing their own Christmas shopping. Check out the posters below for more fabulous FOSS fundraisers
Children's Christmas Market 2023 - zero waste, maximum enjoyment!
Children's Christmas Market 2023 - zero waste, maximum enjoyment!
- *£1.3K* raised for the school!
- *ZERO* waste! Not a single item was left over; the team worked to redistribute the few bags left to local vulnerable families. A bag of excellent books left over were also taken by teachers for classroom reading and to the St Stephen's STARS after school club !
- *ZERO* we reused 400 bags throughout the day
- *Maximum* enjoyment was had by all!
A huge thanks to everyone involved, we had some amazing feedback from parents and children alike, the spirit and value of the market was really felt by all. So thank you for all the effort and donations of some really fantastic and thoughtful gifts, which the kids loved to shop from!
"I felt like a grown up, with my own tokens and choosing my gifts for my family." - Year 1
"It gives me the opportunity to think for myself and think about what my family would like for Christmas" - Year 4
Enjoy your presents on Xmas Day, (if they haven't been revealed already!).
Love,
The Xmas Market Team
CAKE SALES
CAKE SALES
The FOSS Friday cake sale takes place every week in the playground after school. Last year it raised a staggering £5,700 for the school. Many thanks to everyone who donated and bought cakes.
As a reminder - in order to keep our whole school community safe we always ask that homemade or shop bought cakes do not contain nuts, coconut or sesame. Many shop bought cakes will say 'may contain nuts' and, given people bake in their homes, we can never guarantee the sale is completely 'nut free,' as traces may exist. Any cake bought at the sale is under parental supervision, not school supervision. Parents who give their children money to visit the sale are accepting parental responsibility (especially for Yr5 and Yr6 children whose parents may not be present at pick up). Children going to Stars on a Friday afternoon do not visit the cake sale, instead a cake is provided directly by Stars to children who would like to visit. Thank you in advance to everyone over this school year that will bake, buy and help make our cake sales succesful and safe.
Many thanks
The Cake Sale Team
