Update Message from FACES

Mrs Detrey-Loader and the children would like to say:

Thank you!

A very big thank you to the fabulous volunteers who run FACES who fundraised and supported our music curriculum by purchasing 15 new glockenspiels and a class set of colourful boomwhackers.  Across the school this half term, children have thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with, playing and composing using these wonderful resources.

If you would like to keep up to date with FACES information please consider joining our Facebook group “FACES (Fundraisers of Ashington CE School)”.

We also have a WhatsApp group for parents who are interested in helping to organise or volunteer at school events. If you would like to be added to that please let your Class Rep know.

For more information please contact Shelley Toovey via the school office or your class rep.

Current class reps are:

Reception Class – TBC

Year One – Katie Marsh, Rosalind Pollard

Year Two  – Kathryn Stewart-Vernon
Year Three – Eleanor McMichael
Year Four – Heidi Wilson and Claire Sandhu

Year Five – Jane Smith and Marie Teasdale
Year Six - Ann Walker, Lyndsey Daniel and Jo O’Reilly

If any other Year One, Two or Reception Class parents would be interested in becoming Class Reps please contact me via the school office or our Facebook group as it is always nice to have two (or three) for each class.

Many thanks

Shelley Toovey

Friends of Ashington CE School (FACES) are delighted to have been chosen this year as one of the Co-op’s Local Causes.
If you are already a Co-op member you probably will have received an email asking you to choose your cause for this year.
If you nominate a cause, every time you buy Co-op branded goods over the next year they will donate 1% of what you spend to your community. We would be very grateful if you would consider choosing FACES as your local cause for the upcoming year. https://membership.coop.co.uk/causes

FACES offers opportunities through fundraising, to guide pupils through their first stage of life with the aim of setting them off on the right path. Our fundraising is essential to the school budget, enabling pupils to enjoy treats as well as contributing towards basic and much-needed essentials.

If you are not a Co-op member please consider following this link https://www.coop.co.uk/membership to sign up. 1% may not sound like a huge amount but believe us, this can add to hundreds (even thousands) of pounds. It only takes a few minutes to complete the form and seconds to swipe your membership card when you shop. As well as donating money to your local cause you will also receive 5% of what you spend put back into your own Co-op account. You’ll be surprised how quickly it can add up.

Thank you in advance for your support
FACES
