FOSS UPDATE
RUGBY STREET SALE RAISES MORE THAN £2.1K FOR SCHOOL FUNDS
What an incredible two hours on the Chertsey Road, bantering with the England and Ireland fans, en route to the Six Nations game. The passing rugby fans were keen to purchase the fantastic array of home baked goodies donated by parents. Other fans happily chucked notes and coins into the buckets presented so enthusiastically by our children and parents!
Great energy all round! Not least from our fabulous Rugby Sale Co-ordinators Kate George (Year One mum) and Sophie Akben (Reception mum), all you parents and children supporting this fabulous effort, a unicorn, a rhino - another perfect excuse to bring out the inflatable animals! The QR codes on placards made for a good campaign too.
A whopping £2.1k raised from two hours with the rugby crowds. That was after raising more than £1.5k for the England v Wales game last month - an unbelievable £3.6K for four hours at the school gate!!! Bring on the next game!!
As always, thanks to everyone who contributed in donations and/or time - we really cannot do any of this without your continued support and it all goes towards enhancing our children's education.
Much love from the FOSS Team and the Rugby Crew xx
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
