One of our ex-parents, Mr Glen Toomey is a professional football coach for ‘Coerver Coaching’. During Term 4 there will be places available for pupils in Years 2, 3, 4 & 5 (boys and girls). Your child will bring home a leaflet informing you of the football coaching opportunities. The first meeting will be on Wednesday, 22nd February at 3.30 pm. At this meeting more information will be given on this, and costs for this professional coaching session. We hope as many children as possible will take advantage of this extra opportunity.

Friends of Hawkes Farm

School Disco We hope that those of you that are supporting our first major event of 2006 enjoy themselves and find the two tier arrangement more appealing than the previous format. For safety reasons it is important that all children are accompanied by an adult. For safety requirements in numbers we have charged £2.00 per person, but we will be refunding tickets for those children who are 2 or under on the night at the door. I have been trying to circulate this information in the playground.

The Friends, together with Sutton Seeds have formed a partnership to provide support for your school’s funding. I have to say that this is very exciting in that for every order you place, Sutton Seeds will give 20% of that order in money towards the various projects we are striving to achieve for 2006. Look in your book bag now to find your catalogue and start browsing!

Do you want to make a saving of up to 30% on your telephone bill? Well here’s how. The Friends have joined together with School Talk – a subsidiary of ONE-TEL, one of the major competitors to BT. This organisation not only saves you money compared with BT and many telephone companies, it will give back £1 per month per subscription to the school’s PTA fund raising! Imagine the calculations on that if every family joined! It even offers a highly competitive Broadband offer, with free connection or transfer from your current supplier – Interested? Look out for this exciting new development in your child’s book bag first week of next term. Please pass on the information to your friends and relatives, anyone can join.

Thank you again for your continued support.
