Hello,
FROGS’ funds were put to good use this week for World Book Day; we spent £350 on inviting local storyteller Emily Hanna of Dragonfly Tales to host a whole school assembly, followed by a series of smaller assemblies for different years group. A whole day of stories to spark the imagination.
We’re also investing in outdoor play equipment for the school, watch this space! Please join us at our next meeting on 18th March if you have any suggestions on future projects.
UKRAINE APPEAL
A big thank you to Grasmere parent Nicola who organised this week’s Ukraine appeal. Thanks to your generosity we managed to send some necessities, including clothes, toiletries and blankets, to Ukraine, via students from UCL’s School of Slavonic and East European Studies. They were there to help unload, sort, pack and reload onto a lorry which is now on its way to Lviv:
And thanks to Grasmere’s wonderful bakers and helpers, we raised £390 for Choose Love (plus £100 matched donation) and £321 for Unicef (with matched donation doubling that sum), a grand total of £1,132.
Unfortunately the situation is not improving, so we might help organise more fundraisers in the future.
The next FROGS meeting is on 18 March at 9am at the school. And if you see any good Easter Egg deals, don’t hesitate - we’ll need lots and lots of little chocolate eggs of our traditional Easter Egg Hunt in the garden, which will be just before the Easter holidays.
Thank you and take care,
FROGS
