Hello,
Many thanks to our wonderful organisers and all our many, many volunteers who helped make the Grasmere Summer Fair such as special event. We have raised £1,415 for the school (we made £1,920 before expenses). An excellent result and so much fun for the children. It is really magical what we can achieve when everyone helps out! What a great way to end the year for our little community.
We had so many excellent stalls, beautiful decorations and delicious food including freshly made salad, burgers and veggie dishes. Special thanks to the volunteers who made the Human Fruit Machine come to life, what a team!
And well done to Kareem in Year 6 who holds the Floor Is Lava record: under 17 seconds to rescue the Pink Panther from its lava inferno.
Huge, huge thanks to The Clarence Tavern on Stoke Newington Church Street for sponsoring our free donkey rides by Kelly’s Donkeys.
And of course, well done to our lucky raffle winners! Thank you so much to everyone who donated such excellent prizes for the raffle, including the following local businesses: Jolene, Push Cycles, Shine on the Green, Creative Mash, Sparks Arts Islington, Spence Bakery, Stokey’s Delicatessen, Gaia Eros Florals, Nook, Yield, Early Bird, Stokey Toy Shop, Whole Foods, Stoke Newington Bookshop and Romeo & Giulietta.
Please support them if you can, they are what make our neighbourhood so special.
LEAVING GIFTS
Last call to donate for Neela’s leaving gift and the staff’s end-of-year gift, please contribute if you can – this will be split equally and gifted to all remaining staff from teachers and TAs to kitchen and office staff.
There’s one last FROGS event this school year – the Mr Bubbles workshop on Tuesday (unfortunately for the kids only!). We hope your children enjoy it.
Thank you and take care,
FROGS
