FOMS would like to thank everyone who has supported our events this year. We have arranged lots of activities including a Music Quiz, Valentine's Disco and Easter and Christmas Raffles alongside coffee morning and tombola. The monies raised have enabled FOMS to purchase and have installed a sound system at the school, to buy pom poms for the school Cheerleaders and to contribute to the purchase of new musical instruments.
