FOWS Update 06.10.23

By Jo Watsom, Chair of FOWS

Plant donations

In a recent newsletter, we reached out to seek assistance in revitalising the planters outside the school office, and we had a couple of positive responses so far.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to those parents who have already donated plants, as well as to Nottcuts Garden Centre, which kindly provided us with both plants and compost.

However, we still have a couple of planters that are in need of some greenery to complete our project. If you have any unwanted plants that you would be willing to donate to help brighten up our school surroundings, or if you can spare some of your time and expertise to assist us in maintaining these planters, we would greatly appreciate your support.

Please feel free to contact us at fows@owps.org.uk if you are interested in contributing to this initiative. Your involvement will help to create a more welcoming and pleasant environment for our students, staff and visitors

Thank you for your continued support in making our school a better place.
