⏰ One week left to donate! ⏰

We put the call out a few weeks ago and you’ve been amazing — but we still need a few more bits before our deadline of Friday 26th June! 🙏

Specifically we’re on the hunt for:
🐻 LARGER teddies for our Befriend a Bear stall
🎁 Unwanted gifts & unused prizes for our Coconut Shy & Tin Can Alley

Got something gathering dust at home? We’d love to give it a new lease of life at FOLA Fest! 🎪✨

Please drop donations into the school office before Friday 26th June 💛

Thank you as always for your incredible support! 🌟

🌟 FOLA’s Summer Fayre is on its way! 🌟

Half term clear out incoming? 👀 We’d love your donations for two of our brilliant stalls:

🐻 Befriend a Bear — clean, good quality teddies
🥥 Coconut Shy — unused/nearly new prizes

Drop them into the school office by Friday 26th June 💛
