Trustees Newsletter Dear Parents, We hope that you and your families enjoyed a happy and healthy Christmas break. With the weather being so cold there has not been much Trustee-led activity outside of the school, inside however, there have been 2 discos and a very successful Christmas Fair!
FEBRUARY 2015
Coming Soon!
Easter Coffee Morning!
Friday 27th March 2015
Guilden Sutton C.E Primary School
WINTER / SPRING
We would like to take this opportunity to thank EVERYONE for their extremely generous contributions and donations to the various stalls at the Christmas Fair. We would also like to thank you all for attending the Fair itself, which raises around £1,500 each year for the Trust. The Trustees are a small group of volunteer parents who meet every half term along with teachers, to suggest new ideas to generate funds and generally improve the quality of experience for our children whilst at School. We welcome all suggestions from Parents so why not step forward and let us know of any ideas for future projects or fundraisers!

Painting The Millenium Garden
The Millennium Garden was organized by the
Trustees a few years ago. It is a peaceful area
around the back of the school where the children
can sit in shade amongst beautiful flowers and
away from the hectic games of football and ‘tick’.
As you can see from the image below, it is in need
of some much needed TLC. The Trustees and
FOGSS will be brightening up the area in the
coming weeks. Please spare us a few hours to help!
Friends Of Guilden Sutton School
“FOGSS” is a new initiative whereby parents, grandparents or children of the School can help decide how to improve various aspects of the school life or environment. If you have ideas and/or time to work alongside the Trustees please contact the school. Help us to spend the funds wisely and by donating some of your time, the funds will go further. Russell Dorricott has kindly taken the lead on this great project.
WE NEED YOUR BOTTLES!
We are going to build a
greenhouse like this one for the
Cultivation Station! We need to
collect 1,600 large bottles! 2 litre
ones are perfect. Please bring as
many as you can to the school
(empty please!). Look out for the
storage nets at school! F.O.G.S.S

Dates for the Diary
The Trustees have arranged for the
following fundraising events to take place
throughout the school year. These events
are only successful because of your great
and continued support!
Easter Coffee Morning Friday 27th March 2015 Bingo Night Thursday 11th June 2015 Summer Disco Summer term – to be confirmed) Quiz Night (Summer term – to be confirmed) Reminders will be sent out!
F.O.G.S.S Continued. We are currently looking for the next series of School projects to fund. After each Call In Friday join Russell and the Trustees for a coffee and to discuss your ideas. Miss Crowe is also available for informal discussions. If you have any specialist skills or professions step forward! Some things we are looking into….
Traversing climbing wall
Outdoor shipping container with awning for all year round shelter
Replacing equipment outside the Pod
Finally….. The School and the Trustees rely on your kind participation at all of the events that take place throughout the year, to help fund the changes that we can make to our children’s’ education and experience of School life. We can do a lot more work if we can get a regular income of donations from parents and businesses.
For example, just £10 per family each year can
raise in excess of £2,000 for the Trust Fund.
With this in mind, if you would like to make a
contribution please see Mrs Frost at reception.
Thank you!
Best wishes,
The Trustees
Please don’t forget that if you work for a Company who match-fund, we would be very
grateful if you would apply on the School’s behalf for support. M&S Finance are one such company
who, with the help of parents who work there, have provided us with great contributions over the
last few years.
