Friends Of Helmdon School – Newsletters
8th October 2002

Many thanks to all who supported the book sale. We sold Approx. £600 of books giving the school £320 worth of books to chose. The Year 6 cake sale raised £53 – thanks to all who contributed.

We are pleased to announce that MacIntyres have kindly agreed to sponsor the school netball kit and these will arrive in due course.

It is getting to that time of year again and thoughts have turned to our Christmas “must have” for parents, grandparents etc. etc. We have decided to organise a calendar this year which will contain a contribution from every child (we hope!!) and also we will be running a competition within each class to draw a picture of the staff to grace the front cover! To this end please find attached a slip for you to indicate how many calendars you are likely to want to enable us to predict the print run. The calendars will be £3 each.

Our Christmas Activity afternoon will now be on Saturday 16th November from 1.30 p.m. to 3.30 p.m. at a cost of £3 per child. Please note this event is not open to pre-school children. Please complete the slip below to apply for tickets and return this with your payment in an envelope to the class teacher. If you would like to help at this event please see Sandra. We would be very grateful for any donations of suitable craft materials such as glue, glitter, tissue paper, gold or silver anything, tinsel etc. etc. Please give these to your class rep or Sandra or Marianne.

Don’t forget the first school disco this Friday 11th October from 6.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. Due to an increase in the cost of the disco we have decided to charge a nominal entrance of 50p for pre-school children but keep the cost to £2.50 for all other children. Mums, Dads and carers are free!! Drinks and snacks will be on sale for adults and children.

Date for the diary – Mufti day on Friday 8th November – £1 per child towards F.O.H.S. funds.
