The Friends of Holy Cross funds have also paid for 7 x iPads, new playground markings, new sports kits, a table tennis table, the buddy bench, school flag for sports events, Wii controllers, a gazebo, a small freezer for ice creams and so on….
We now have our very own facebook page so please do give us a like. Search FOHC – Friends of Holy Cross. We aim to advertise all our events and upcoming meetings on the page so please look out for us.
We always need more people to join the FOHC. As our children leave the school, so as members do we, and it would be a great shame if we couldn’t continue the great work that we do. We are all volunteers and fully understand that life is busy, and time is precious, but the more people we have on board, the less there is for people to do as jobs can be shared and we can all enjoy the events as well as helping out at them. Having new people brings new ideas and even if you can only help out at one of the events – you don’t realise how much that would be appreciated.
Please do get in touch at friendsofholycrossschool@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to help in any way.
News:
Last Year, we informed you of our Long Term Project to raise funds for having sun sails installed around the school. It is great to be able to tell you that with your support, we have now reached that tremendous goal. The next two sails are in the process of being ordered and will be in place for when the wonderful sunshine appears!
Thank you again for your continued support.
Our fundraising continues. Watch this space for our next project.
Our first part of our project has now been installed. A big thank you to everyone who has supported our events.
