Fohs newsletter apr 06

Friends of Helmdon School
Newsletter April 2006
Welcome back – we hope that you all had a lovely Easter and are back into your routines. We have a few bits to report on from last term:
Quiz Night – Thanks to all of you who came along with your brains in gear (or not…..!). A great night was had by all; lots of delicious food, a fantastic quiz and lots of team spirit. Well done to Trains, Planes and Automobiles for winning the quiz and for be good sports in donating back their prizes to FOHS. We raised
£550. Due to popular demand, we will be organising a further quiz night in the future.
Bags 2 School – Our last collection of 395 kg of unwanted items raised £88.88
– thank you!
Easter Disco – We hope you all enjoyed the Disco at the end of last term. A
big thank you to the Easter Bunny for joining us! We raised a further £494.
The money that we have raised has so far been spent on the following:
Charlotte’s Web – the children were entertained to a wonderful performance of Charlotte’s Web on Friday afternoon by M & M Theatrical Productions. We hope that your children enjoyed the show.
Union Flag and Cakes – we had a celebration for the Queen’s 80th birthday on
Friday, with a flag raising ceremony and birthday cake for all the children.
Magnetic Wall Games and Re-useable Butterfly Garden – we are in the process of purchasing these for the children.
Our next target is to install seating in the upper playground which will be welcomed by all, especially with the summer approaching.
