FOSS start-of-the-SUMMER TERM 2024 UPDATE

A big welcome to the Summer Term from the FOSS Team! We are continuing our fundraising efforts with some more fantastic events this term: St Stephen's Talent Show, Paris Bike Ride, circus skills fun day with The Flying Seagull Project, Orleans v St Stephen's Football Tournament, weekly Cake Sales and, of course, our climax Summer BBQ! All the funds we raise directly gives our children access to specialist resources that support the curriculum at school, offering our children opportunities that many other schools simply can no longer afford. We can not do any of this without your unwavering support which we wholeheartedly appreciate comes in all shapes and sizes, whether it's volunteering your time, attending an event, making a donation, cheering us on, etc etc - it ALL counts!

We are well on our way to achieving this year's Wishlist (see above), there is still a way to go! And there is always more the school would love us to be able to support with... every penny continues to go towards supporting our children.

Thanks to FOSS for the stationery donation to make sure all children will have access to the resources they need!

Finally, thank you to those who attended the FOSS Succession Meeting last term. Your feedback and ideas were appreciated. We are delighted to share that a couple of parents have stepped forward, willing to take on some key roles to ensure FOSS can continue to support our children. BUT THEY NEED YOUR HELP!!! Many of our events team will remain in place, but the new core FOSS Team will need more members to please run logistics - CAN YOU HELP? Our parent community will be so very grateful! Positions include:

• Communications

• Graphics Designer 

• Do you have a skill that you think would benefit the core FOSS Team?

Please contact Miranda (07939 858 939) or Fay (07900 986 306) to learn how you can get involved in this fantastic new team! 

Thank you & Love from the FOSS Team! xxxx
