WHY JOIN?
8 REASONS TO JOIN FOSS
YOUR CHILD BENEFITS 1.
FOSS is an important part of the school and helps to enrich your childs school experience. We support the school by helping to provide things like the new IT equipment recently purchased.
2. TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
As well as fundraising, FOSS organises events which add so much to our childrens school experience. FOSS organises the School Disco and Christmas Fayre, along with many more fun events. This creates a real sense of community and benefits our children.
3.FEEL INVOLVED
As a parent or carer in our school, you are already a member of FOSS. Every parent is welcome to our meetings and we love to see new faces. Please consider coming along to our meetings, or volunteer an hour of your time at an event.
4.IT’S TOTALLY FLEXIBLE
Whether you’re a full-time parent or not, anyone can get involved. It’s less commitment that you think and you dont always have to attend meetings. Small jobs like putting up a poster, helping sort uniform or running a stall, keeps everything running smoothly.
5.BECAUSE IT’S FUN
Be part of the team which organises the best events and get-togethers. Debrief over a glass of wine (or two). Suggest your most hair-brained idea and watch as it catches on and everyone wants a piece of the action. Laugh, Cry. Be there for each other.
6. BE BETTER CONNECTED
Create closer links with the head teacher, teachers and staff. If you’re new to the school, FOSS is an excellent way to find out how things work and become part of the community.
7. IT’S NOT JUST FOR MUMS
Everyone is welcome, grandparents, aunts or uncles and it’s especially important to have dad’s and male carers represented, as male role models are crucial in children’s upbringing. Dad’s can bring different skills, they can bring a different perspective, and they can bring other dad’s.
8. KEEP FOSS GOING
As parents move on from the school, there is a real danger that there will no longer be a FOSS. Please do consider helping, maybe teaming up as a group of parents, to keep FOSS going, year after year.
