This autumn flurry of fixtures is coming to an end this weekend and we are thrilled to have made over £7,000 so far just this term. Fundraising on rugby days is a great way to raise funds for school from people outside our immediate school community, which really helps take the pressure off parents (we know there is a lot we ask of you already).
There is one more November fixture this weekend, you can help by coming along with your child/ren and adding to the fun. Below are the list of fixtures, if you would like to get involved or just to hear more about it, please join our whatsapp group using this link
We are a newly formed committee and would love to have more input from parents throughout all year groups, you don’t need to commit to huge chunks of time, we will happily work with you to find out what it possible, or if you have an event you’d like to bring to the calendar please get in touch and let us know.
What you can do to help
With a few people stepping back we are eager fill those positions to make sure we’re going to be able to continue supporting our school so please chat to us in the playground or contact us via your rep or email foss@ststephensTW1.onmicrosoft.com
We are specifically looking for:
A cake sale team - 1 hour per week - this group will work together taking it in turns to support the cake sales, ensuring reps have all the information they need to deliver their sale and comply with a food policy and safeguarding rules of the school. Usually this means a few messages to class reps within the week and being able to support set up from about 2:50/3pm on a Friday.
A Bake Off team - we are sad to say that without a team to help deliver this event we will be unable to run it this year, if you have a passion for this event - or your child will miss it if it goes - please consider taking it on. We think a team of three could cover this event with our committee support and volunteers on the day.
A Summer BBQ team to help us pull together this fun end of year event - this team will design the event, prep the stalls, liaise with the Turk’s Head and work with other members of the FOSS team to ensure we have the right licensing and risk assessments in place.
If you’d like to volunteer at events, join our FOSS events and volunteer whatsapp community, where you can join volunteer groups for any of the events you are interested in helping.
