Friends of Helmdon School

| Newsletters | Committee |

The Helmdon Parent Teacher Association, known as The Friends of Helmdon School (FOHS), is well supported by parents, teachers and other staff. All parents of children at the school are automatically members, and are encouraged to attend meetings and to contribute ideas for fundraising and to lend a hand in supporting the many fundraising activities held throughout the year. A regular newsletter keeps everyone up to date.

FOHS is currently completing its registration as a charity. Its objective is to raise funds for the purchase of essential school equipment, and to provide the “extras” that cannot be catered for within the school’s budget. In the current school year, these have included whiteboards, music centre, clavinova and stool, playground toys for Reception children, and the children’s Christmas party.

Funds are also available to purchase a storage shed, and to provide refreshments on Sports Day and leaving presents for year 6 pupils.

The target for 2001/2 is to raise £3000 as part matching funding for the extension of the year 6 classroom.

All parents are welcome to join us at our next meeting to be held on Monday 1st October, 7:30 at school. , at school.

Michelle Childerley and Debbie Reeve (Joint Chairpersons).
