Hello,
Thank you to all Year 5 bakers and sellers who have raised a wonderful £193.92 last Friday! We hope you enjoyed their cakes and treats. The next cake sale will be next year, on 14 January. But in the meantime, we’re busy planning our Winter fair, which will take place on Friday 10 December – please see below for a list of volunteering opportunities.
FROGS’ WINTER SHOP
Our Winter shop is now officially open! You can purchase Christmas trees until 2 December for delivery on 10 December. Also on offer are lots of lovely gifts, including craft kits, tote bags, book bags, pencils cases, made-to- order tops (deadline also 2 December) and fun jewellery pieces. Most items are available in limited quantities and will be ready to be delivered around 10 December.
Next week we will add Christmas wreaths and Santa’s Grotto tickets to the shop offer. We’ll also be selling some navy Grasmere School T-shirts in a selection of kids sizes at the Winter Fair.
WINTER FAIR: HELP NEEDED
Thank you to all who have already volunteered to help us organise this very popular event. At the moment we already have 10 parents helping with tasks such as selling tickets and products, handing out the Christmas trees, planning the Santa’s grotto and grotto gifts, preparing a coconut shy stall, as well as as the music and playlist, and selling delicious vegetarian food.
But we still need plenty of help to man the class stalls, as well as the food stall, from which we’re hoping to sell cakes and drinks including hot chocolate and massala chai. We will also need a lot of help setting up the fair and decorating everything, and then tidying up at the end.
If you intend to help on the day, please could you sign up for your slot using this Volunteer Sign Up sheet (even if you’ve already told your class rep you could help) as soon as possible; it will be a big help for us organisers, as we will then be able to see if we can run all the different stalls or if we will have to plan less activities to make the event possible.
If you can’t be there on the day, you could also help by lending a gazebo, making/lending items to decorate the grotto, or baking cakes etc.
Thank you for your help,
FROGS
