At the FOPS AGM held recently, we officially announced the total figure that was raised over the course of the last academic year to be a whopping £7,536, which equates to £75 per child! As we always say – this is only possible due to a huge commitment and effort from parents & the wider community. Special thanks, of course must once again go to Payhembury Provisions, who generously donated £2,300 towards our grand laptop appeal.
AGM news:
George Searle stood down as co-chair of FOPS at the meeting. George’s pragmatic & focused approach played a huge part in our enormously successful fundraising year, so we all owe thanks to her for efforts made. She hands the mantel over fully to Anita Elsom, who has taken on the position of sole Chair. Anita is already working hard towards getting our fundraising off to a good start, and welcomes any assistance that parents are able to give.
So, we are at the start of our new academic year, and a new wave of fundraising. Our first event is the Film Night on Thursday 14th November. There will be 2 different films for our children to choose from – this is an event they all love, so pop it your calendars. Another save the date is for our Christmas Fair on Saturday 7th December, which promises to be another fantastic, festive event not to be missed.
Finally, the school has registered with a great new scheme being offered by The Book People. They are donating £1 to the school every time you spend £10, so please do remember them & remember to select Payhembury Primary School when you are Christmas shopping!
