Just one week to go until our Halloween Fun event, on Friday 24th October! During the day you can wear non-uniform, something Halloween themed if you like! No face paints. Remember to give your £1 to the class teacher please.
Then after school, there is the bake and treat sale from 3.15pm until 4.15pm, along with some fun Halloween activities- hopefully outside on the tennis court if the weather allows! Please donate your sweet or savoury bakes to the office in the morning. No nuts please. A list of ingredients is very helpful for those with allergies. We still need helpers to volunteer run the sale and activities so please do get in touch if you can support this event.
Exciting news: we are very lucky that the Rocks Park Ambassadors will be judging the bakes on the morning of the 24th and will be awarding some certificates to the most spooktacular ones! So please make sure your item is named!
We have also started our Christmas Fair plans which is on Saturday 22nd November. Yesterday, we went to assembly to draw the Class Colour Box Christmas Raffle and will share the colours soon. Next week, we hope to release more information about what we are planning for the fair and how you can help.
The FSA trustees would also like to wish Year 6 a wonderful time away next week! We look forward to hearing about your adventures.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend. See you next week for some fang-tastic Halloween fun!
What is the FSA?
The Rocks Park Friends of the School Association is a group of parents, staff and the community who find ways to raise money for the school to help give the children opportunities for learning experiences and having fun.
We are all members of the FSA (yes that includes you!) by simply having your children at the school – ‘many hands make light work and brings the most success’
Class Reps
Class reps are the point of contact from the FSA to the year group. Class reps are asked to;
Share FSA Facebook posts to the year group pages
Co-ordinate any class staff for seasonal fayres
Share feedback & ideas from the year group to the FSA
You are supported by the FSA whenever needed. Please email us if you can support your class in this.
Volunteers
As we move into the new school year, the fundraising challenges ahead remain. To achieve the familiar events and add new ones too we need as many active members as possible. When you support the FSA, you’re not just baking a cake, donating a prize, buying a raffle ticket or giving up your time to volunteer. Your contributing allows us to support the school in improving your children’s playground equipment, school outings, the up keep of the swimming pool, bringing theatre to the school plus making new friends, building a community and helping to make your child’s school even more brilliant.
Reports.
If you choose to pay by BACS for any of the FSA events or items, please use the payment reference format indicated below and note it on your order form/reply slip which will still need returning to the black FSA box.
