FOBS AGM 23.06.17

Dear parents and guardians,
As you know, FOBS AGM is next Friday 23rd June at 1.30 pm at the school. This is when the new committee is elected for the following year. Usually most of the committee members are reelected every year however this year we have several vacancies to be filled. At the moment we are in urgent need of finding parents willing to take on the role of Chair. Unfortunately our constitution doesn’t allow us to operate without a Chair. Therefore it is really important for FOBS and indeed the school to find someone who would like to volunteer for this role otherwise FOBS won’t be able to continue.
I have been the Chair of FOBS for nearly four years and yes, the role needs a certain degree of commitment, but in my experience it is really rewarding, good fun and I’d like to think I am leaving having made great friendships and made a difference.
If you would be interested in knowing more about the role please get in contact with me.
Kind regards
Marina Turmo-Luengo
Chair

Gardening Day – Thank You

A big thank you to everyone who helped at the gardening day on Saturday.  The samba drums (purchased with some of the funds raised from the Mini Marathon) were installed, most of the bark paths were laid and a general tidy up was had so that most of the wildlife garden can now be used by the children during the school day.  Lots more painting was done as well, until the showers arrived late afternoon!

We found time during the day for everyone to look in the new eco-room and it definitely got the ‘wow’ reaction that we had hoped for! All classes will start to use the room over the next couple of weeks for Science and Design and Technology.

Another working party is planned for Saturday 24th June, which will probably be our final gardening day, and then the whole area will be finished and everything will be ready to use. We hope you can spare a couple of hours to come along and thank you to Graham, the FOBS ladies and other parents who have already offered their time.  We then just have to find a date for the official opening!
