Firstly welcome back to all parents and children and a special welcome to all the Reception children, new to Helmdon School this term. FOHS held their first meeting of this academic year last week. We are still looking for someone to fill the position of Vice Chair and new members are always welcome. If you would like to be involved please speak to Marianne or Sandra for further details.

For information the following have volunteered as Class Representatives:-

Class 1 Year 6 – Still required
Class 2 Years 4 & 5 – Sally Connery
Class 3 Years 3 & 4 – Caroline Armisted
Class 4 Years 1 & 2 – Penny Warman

FOHS will be running two Book Fairs at the School next week. These will be on Tuesday 24th and Friday 27th September from 3:10 p.m. On Friday there will also be a cake sale with cakes provided by Year 6! If you would like to help on either day, please let Sandra know.

A school disco has been arranged for Friday 11th October from 6:30 – 9:00 p.m. Tickets are available on the door at a cost of £2.50 per child, with Pre-school children and Mums and Dads admitted free! As usual snacks and drinks will be available for purchase. Again, please let Sandra know if you would like to help.

The fundraising Christmas catalogues should now have reached everyone. Please remember to telephone your order, or post it to Fundraising Direct in the envelope provided. Sandra has a further stock of order forms and envelopes if required.

There will be a Mufti Day on Friday 8th November at a cost of £1 for all children taking part.

We are trying to plan ahead at present for the Christmas raffle and would appreciate it if anyone knows of a company who might like to donate first prize.

We are considering running a Christmas Craft Activity afternoon on Saturday 23rd November, at the school. Activities are likely to include making Christmas Cards, Calendars, Decorations etc. To give us an idea of interest in such an activity, please would you fill in the form at the bottom of the page and return it to your class representative, or Sandra, as soon as possible. We would also be grateful for all offers of help and ideas from anyone who has a talent for making things!

The next meeting will be on Thursday October 3rd at 7:30 p.m. in the school – everyone welcome!

I would/would not* be interested in my child/children attending a Christmas Craft Activity afternoon on Saturday 23rd November.
