🎆 Remember, remember the 5th of November… and remember that I should have posted "Its November" update five days ago! 🤦‍♀️

So I'm little late to the party this month (again!), but better late than never! So, here's what's coming up this November.

🎁 Thursday 19th November – Christmas Raffle Mufti Day

The children can come to school in their own clothes in exchange for a donation towards our Christmas raffle prizes hampers. You've hopefully spotted the ParentMail sent out today with all the details, so please do have a read!

🎟️ Sunday 22nd November – Christmas Raffle Goes LIVE!

It's nearly time for our annual Christmas raffle! Tickets will be available to purchase from Sunday, with more details coming very soon. We have some lovely prizes in store, so keep your eyes peeled!

🛍️ Monday 23rd November – Evening Christmas Shopping Event

We're SO excited to be bringing back our evening Christmas shopping event! There's a change of location this year, as we're moving from the Jubilee Hall to Bierton Sports Hall. More details, including what to expect, will be coming your way soon.

And that's November at a glance! Lots of Christmas excitement starting to creep in, and we can't wait to share more with you.

Thank you, as always, for supporting FoBS and everything we do for the children. ❤️

I'll try to get December's update out on the 1st… absolutely no promises though! 🤣

FoBS TUCK SHOP CANCELLED 23rd OCTOBER

Unfortunately, due to the forecast of Storm Austen tomorrow, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel tuck shop.

We know this is disappointing, especially as it’s our last tuck before half term! But whilst nobody fancies standing around in the rain, it’s the strong winds that make setting up and running tuck particularly tricky. It's also not much fun for our lovely volunteers either!

We’re sorry to disappoint, but safety has to come first. We’ll be back after half term, ready to bring you all the usual tuck-time treats!

FoBS AGM & Committee Update – 12 October (Yes I am late as normal)

A huge thank you to all our families, school staff, volunteers and local businesses for supporting FoBS over the past year!

Thanks to your amazing support, our first Colour Run raised £3,783, the school discos brought in over £3,000, and our Christmas raffle raised over £2,000! 🎉

These funds have helped provide trips and workshops for every year group, the school panto, Year 6 leavers’ hoodies and so much more.

Looking ahead, we’ve agreed to fund a coach trip and workshop for every year group again this year, alongside £100 per class for classroom resources.

👋 Committee news! A big thank you to Kate, who is stepping down as co-chair but will be staying on the committee. We’re delighted to welcome Jenny as our new co-chair, joining Francie in the role.

💛 Fancy getting involved? We’re always happy to welcome new volunteers, particularly to help with our Friday tuck shop. Even a little time can make a big difference!

🎄 A little Christmas Market update! This year, we’re moving the market to the Sports Centre, giving us more room for stalls and, importantly, more space to sit down and enjoy some festive refreshments!

Thank you for being part of our FoBS community and helping us make a difference for the children. 🥰

🎄✨ Just over 5 weeks to go until our Christmas Market! ✨🎄

We hope you can all join us for a lovely evening of festive shopping and Christmas cheer! 🎅🏼🎁

🛍️ Browse our wonderful selection of external stalls and pick up some Christmas gifts

🥂 Enjoy a glass of Prosecco or warming Mulled W**e

☕ Treat yourself to a delicious Hot Chocolate

🥧 Indulge in a mince pie or two!

🎄 Bring your friends, get into the festive spirit and make an evening of it!

❤️ We can't wait to see you there and thank you for supporting FoBS! 🎅🏼✨

📣The FoBS AGM is tonight!! 📣

Parents, please join us tonight at 6pm at the school for our Friends of Bierton School (FoBS) AGM.

Come along to hear about what we’ve achieved over the past year and our plans for the year ahead. We have a wonderful committee who work hard to organise events and raise funds for the school, but we’re always looking for more people to get involved! 😊

Whether you’d like to help organise events, lend a hand on the day, share ideas for fundraising, help behind the scenes or just offer a little time when you can, every bit of support makes a difference. There’s no need to commit to helping at every event – any help is appreciated!

We’d also love to hear from anyone who has connections to local businesses, or runs a business themselves, that might be able to support or sponsor our events.

You don’t need to be on the committee to help out, and you don’t need any experience – just a willingness to get involved and help make a difference to the children’s school experience.

Everyone is welcome, and we’d love to see you there! 💙
