Hello,
We hope you are all well and ready for the Easter holidays. Please find the meeting minutes here, and see below for more information on our latest events, and plans for the Summer Term.
STAR OF THE WEEK
This week we had to say goodbye to Patsy, who has been at Grasmere for 30 years! She is the heart of the school and will be missed by everyone. We will be organising a gift pot and video messages soon. Please save the date: the school is organising a special assembly on Monday 29 April at 2.30.
Thank you to our volunteers who organised a last minute celebration and everyone who turned up – what a great community we have.
We’re also saying goodbye to our very own FROG Nicola – thank you for everything you’ve done for the school in the last few years, on behalf of all the parents and children.
Easter Egg Hunt
Thank you to everyone who donated eggs, including the lovely people at Waitrose Holloway who donated over 500 little chocolate eggs! We distributed over 2,000 eggs and the kids had lots of fun. And if they managed to find Gilbert the Rabbit, their teachers got a big Easter egg too. Plus there were eggs for the staff room, and for pupil premium children to take home.
This couldn’t have happened without our volunteer bunnies who spent the entire morning hiding eggs in the garden, so thank you so much Easter Hunt team!
Jumble Sale
Thank you to all our volunteers and shoppers, we raised over £1,400 with the spring jumble sale. It’s a big event to organise and we had over 50 volunteers – not bad for such a small school! The next Jumble sale will be in October and we are looking for a volunteer organiser.
RECENT SPENDS
In the past few weeks we’ve supported the school by funding some Science Week workshops run by Happy Squares. And thank you to the parents who also came in to support World Book Week!
We’ve also spent time and money on revamping the garden beds, with planting and new arches:
NEXT TERM
Please save the dates! We’ve lots of great events coming up this Summer Term:
As ever volunteers will be needed. We’re also looking for another volunteer to help organise the Enterprise Fair. Kids will be able to run their own stall at this fair, so perhaps they would like to start making/planting things now so they are ready to sell in June!
Thank you and take care,
FROGS
