Friends of Helmdon School
Newsletter
September 2005
Well here we are, another year. We’d like to start by saying a big thank you to everyone who bought, baked, helped at and attended the fundraising events over the last school year. Thanks to your contributions we have been able to purchase many things for your children’s classes such as CD players, new books and more interactive whiteboards. We have also contributed to the cost of the new playground, which will soon have exciting markings! All of this, the school would not have if it wasn’t for your support, so – WELL DONE!
As a parent you are automatically a member of the Friends of Helmdon
School. We would love to see some new faces at the meetings, so pop along. We’re a really friendly bunch and it’s a great way of getting involved in your child’s school and making new friends.
Becky Leitelmayer and Kate Taylor are the joint chair and Claire Headley is the secretary. Each class has its own class representative that you can approach for any FOHS information: R/Yr1 Hazel Rock
Yr1/2 Lexi Threlfall
Yr3/4 Sue Turner
Yr4/5 Michelle Childerley
Yr6 Caren Whitehouse
