This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the duck race and to mark this occasion the committee of F.O.S.S. are in the process of organising the Family Fun Day. It will a celebratory event for the whole community and will have lots of attractions for people of all ages.
Along with the traditional tombola, raffle and tea tent there will also be other fun entertainment such as bouncy castles, assault courses, go-karts, steam engine, fun bus, face painting, dance shows and a Punch & Judy show.
Currently we only have 5 active members of the FOSS committee and in order for the event to take place we will be reliant on the assistance of volunteers. If you are able to volunteer your time – even if its just an hour – or you would like further information about the Friends of Slingsby School please contact the school and your message will be forwarded to a committee member, email us at [email protected] or join us at our next meeting on June 9th at 6pm in the school. All members of the community are welcome to join the Friends of Slingsby School – its not just for parents of the pupils.
Funds raised from the event will, as always, contribute to the activities our children currently enjoy. This is even more crucial as the government funded sports partnership is due to end at the end of this academic year. We are determined that our children are able to continue enjoying the events we have funded such as swimming lessons, panto trip, kite making skills, circus skills, purchase of a video camera, xmas and halloween parties and a summer visit to The Deep. We hope that you are able to help with our efforts.
Many Thanks in anticipation.
The Committee of Friends of Slingsby School (F.O.S.S)
