Hello,
In this newsletter you will find information on our next events, and how you can help!
THANK YOU!
To the Year 1 parents who raised £188.50 with their cake sale!
The next cake sale – the Reception & Nursery cake sale – is Friday 24 June.
PAINTING VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – THIS FRIDAY, from 9-13.
We’ve got big plans for the blue container – Billy, the school’s caretaker, has found some second-hand speakers and perhaps even a screen and projector that he is offering to install in the blue container. This could turn it in a real outdoor classroom, and also perhaps an outdoor cinema!
Before he can install this, we’d like to paint it white inside to hide all the white plugs. Do you have any leftover white paint we could use on the walls and ceiling of the container (plywood)? Or any dust sheets you don’t need that we could use to protect the decking? Let us know! If we have enough volunteers this Friday, we’re also hoping to fix the mural and paint over the graffiti, and perhaps tidy up the kitchen garden.
JUBILEE EVENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – THURSDAY 26, 3-5
To celebrate the Jubilee we’re offering the kids a treat on Thursday 26 May – we’ve asked Mr Bubble to come do little shows and workshops (for all the year groups) in the morning.
And from 3pm, we’d like to invite parents, carers and children to meet up for tea and strawberries & cream. Please let us know if you can help by setting up the event, or selling the food and drinks… or even baking scones!
Just email frogs.grasmere@gmail.com or text Léa. Thank you!
JUMBLE SALE – SATURDAY 18 JUNE, 10.30-12.30
We’ve got a new date for the Jumble sale!
Please sign up here if you can help. We need lots of volunteers for this, on the Friday to sort the donations (you get first dibs!) and on the Saturday to help set up, run the stalls and clear up. It’s a big fundraiser and a great community event, but it requires a lot of work, so please help if you can – even an hour will make a big difference.
SUMMER FAIR – SATURDAY 16 JULY
We’re looking for some ideas for stalls for the Summer fair. We have lots of stuff in the cellar for a gem stall, painting plant pots or stones, hook a duck and even a slack line to put in the garden. Please let your class reps know if you have any ideas of if you can help on the day. We will prepare a Volunteer Sign Up sheet once we have a list of all the stalls – thanks!
We’re hoping to update you on our other projects (including the new play equipment we’ve bought for the school and the planned garden pavilion) very soon.
To learn more about what FROGS do please join us for our next meeting, on Zoom on Wednesday 27 May at 8pm.
Thank you and take care,
FROGS
