FOWPS Newsletter 8 January 2016 - 8th Jan 2016

 

Christmas Market Update!

After a fabulous turn out at the Christmas Market , we are pleased to announce that we raised a marvellous £1684. This total will go towards various projects to improve the school. These include refurbishment of the girls toilets, staging and other equipment for school productions, and creating a vibrant and productive playground area. A huge thank you to all those who helped make this year’s Christmas Market a success through making donations, finding raffle items, setting up the stalls, working at a stall and clearing away afterwards.

 

The 100 Club. Have you joined?

Another way we raise funds is through our 100 Club. A great way for you to support us whilst having a bit of a flutter! Here’s how it works…

You complete and sign a membership form and either

– set up a Standing Order for £2 a month, or
– pay by cheque/cash at the Summer or Winter fair for the period to 31st December.

This buys you one membership number, which enters you into the monthly draw. All participants must be over 16.

 

A £30 draw will take place in the final assembly of each month with the exception of the two months in which the Summer and Winter fairs fall.  In these months the normal draw is replaced with a special £200 draw at the fair. If you win, a cheque will be posted to your home address and the name of the winner published in the school’s monthly newsletter.
All profits raised go to FOWPS to help fund equipment, resources and opportunities for pupils.


If all 100 numbers were taken, this would raise a stunning £1700 for the school! We still have many unsold numbers! The lucky winner of the December 100 Club £30 draw was Lorna Tappern.  If you are interested in joining the 100 Club and entering the monthly draws please see Amanda Lyons for more information.
