Count down to the Christmas Fair: Saturday 6 December
 |
The Christmas Fair is one of our school’s biggest fund-raising events, so the more helping hands, the lighter everyone’s workload – and our children benefit. The Fair is also a great day out for the family, with lots of fun for children, and a chance to do loads of Christmas shopping. Download a list of class stalls and tasks involved.(word.doc) |

Raising funds for our school the healthy way
Freshly harvested seasonal organic fruit and vegetables
from British farms
Pick up a bag every Friday from the Junior School playground at pick-up time. (we hope to find someone to run this in the Infant School playground as well – any volunteers??)
We are offering selections of fruit and vegetables for you to collect here at school.
Each week the selection is different, chosen by farmers to represent the best seasonal produce available.
You’ll find a mixture of favourites such as apples, tomatoes and bananas along with more unusual things to try, like purple broccoli and globe artichokes.
Every bag includes a special Farmer’s Choice newsletter, with information for you and your children about the farmers who grew the produce and recipe suggestions to help you enjoy it.
There are 3 types of bags – fruit, vegetable and combi. The Veg bag & Fruit bag go well together or you could choose the combi for 1 or 2 people!
The Farmer’s Choice 5 x Vegetable | The Farmer’s Choice 3 veg 2 fruit Combi | The Farmer’s Choice 4 x Fruit | |
Price | £5 | £7 | £6.50 |
25% of the price of the bag goes straight to Friends of Strand School (40% goes to the farmer). 50 bags sold per week raises approximately £3000 a year for our school – for less than an hour’s work a week!
The Farmer’s Choice is being run in partnership with Abel & Cole, an award winning organic food company. They have set up The Farmer’s Choice as a non-profit operation with the goal of helping schools like us raise much needed funds.
To join, simply look out for us in the Junior playground and come and place your order. Payment is in advance, either weekly, per half-term or per term.
