FOWS Update 12.07.24
By Jo Watson, Chair of Fows
Wishing You All a Wonderful Summer!
As we wrap up another fantastic school year, the FOWS team and I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone for their incredible support during our fundraising events. Your generosity has made a significant impact on our school community, and we couldn't have done it without you! This year, the funds raised helped to fund the new playground markings, which the children are absolutely loving.
To celebrate and show our appreciation, join the FOWS team for drinks on Wednesday 17th June from 7 PM at The Windmill in Orton Waterville. Everyone is welcome, including children! This is a perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and chat with some of our committee members. If you're curious about getting involved with FOWS for the 2024/25 school year, we'd love to share more information with you.
We're thrilled to announce that this year's summer fair raised an incredible £3,148 in total! If anyone works for an organisation that offers employee match funding, we would love to hear from you, as it's a great way to further boost our fundraising efforts.
As you prepare for the next term, don't forget to stock up on school uniform by visiting our uniform rail situated in the school reception. All items are free, but we suggest a donation of £1 per item.
Stay tuned for more details in September about upcoming events and meetings, including our AGM planned for October. Have a safe and enjoyable summer!
Warm regards,
Jo Watson and The Friends of Orton Wistow School (FOWS) Team
