FOWS Update 26.04.24
By Jo Watson, Chair of FOWS
Donation Day
Thank you to everyone who joined in today's Donation Day festivities! It was heartwarming to witness the vibrant display of our four house colours proudly worn by our students. Your generous donations will play a crucial role in supporting our upcoming Summer Fair scheduled for the 5th of July.
Raffle Prize Plea
As we gear up for the Summer Fair, we're still on the lookout for exciting raffle prizes. If you or anyone you know is in a position to contribute a prize, your support would be immensely appreciated. Popular items include beauty vouchers for some well-deserved pampering, family day out vouchers for creating cherished memories, high street vouchers for a shopping spree, and tantalizing food and drink treats to tantalize the taste buds. If you can help please contact the fows team fows@owps.org.uk or via our facebook page
New Playground Markings
We love seeing the children going into school and at pick up time making the most of the new designs. This is an example of how your support directly contributes to the school life of your child. FOWS donated over £7,000 towards this project, all raised via your support of our events (discos, summer fairs, donation days, etc). Your contributions have transformed our playground into an engaging and vibrant space where our students can learn, play, and thrive. Thank you for making a difference!
FOWS Chair Announcement
At the start of this school year back in October 2023, FOWS held our AGM, during which I notified everyone that this would be my final year as FOWS Chair and on the FOWS committee. I've thoroughly enjoyed being part of the team and making a difference to the school, but due to other commitments, it's time to take a step back and focus on some other things in my life. With this transition in mind, we are actively seeking a new chair to lead FOWS into its next chapter. Additionally, I want to emphasize that FOWS thrives on the energy and ideas of volunteers. Whether you can spare a few hours to assist at discos or events or are interested in a more involved role on our committee, your contribution is invaluable. Maybe you have some ideas for new events or you think we could improve some of our existing ones, we would love for you to get involved.
If you are passionate about enhancing the school experience for our students and families and are interested in learning more about joining FOWS in any capacity, please reach out to us
