Friends of Metheringham School Update Autumn 2011

We have had a great summer - first of all some fantastic hanging baskets (or the same plants to go in your own baskets) from a company near Spalding which raised £60 for FOMS. I can't believe the size of the flowers on my fuschia and my dad was pretty envious too!

Next was the Summer Fair. This was the second that I have organised though I won't say it was any easier. The weather on Friday night (thunder and lightening) made me panic a little but no worries - the day was bright and sunny, we were out on the field by the school and a few of us got sunburnt! The Sleaford Standard came along and took a few photos - two of these along with a little write up were in the paper a couple of weeks later. Although we never appeared to have lots of people at any one time, we raised about £500. A very big thank you to all those who supported us in any way whether with prizes, donations or spending money on the day!

A couple of weeks later and it was the Leavers Disco - an enjoyable night - and the photographers were kept busy too. The next afternoon the Leavers were given small gifts by FOMS as we do each year - this year a scientific calculator which will hopefully be of use at their next schools.

A manic term I am sure you will agree!
