Friends of Earith School
Background
FOES was established in 1994. Since then it has raised thousands of pounds over the years to provide much needed funds and resources for the school.
We are a charitable fundraising committee, whose volunteers consist of parents, carers, and teachers.
Our Aim
Our aim is to raise funds for extra equipment and resources that supports the curriculum and further enrichment for the pupils of Earith Primary School.
AGM
Our Annual General Meeting is in October. The school will send out a notice for the meeting and the date will also appear on our Facebook page and this website. The current committee will step down and a new committee will be voted in.
FOES cannot function without the core committee positions filled: Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary. Equally important are the members. Without members, there is less support for the school which means less fundraising, the outcome of which compromises our main aim above.
General Meetings
Meetings are held at least once every term, depending on planned events. Members do not have to attend each meeting but we are always looking for new ideas and help with planning upcoming events.
Events
Along with fundraising, we also support & run events and activities that the children really enjoy and look forward to, adding to their experience at Earith Primary School. These include, but are not limited to:
- CHILDREN'S DISCO
- SUMMER FAYRE
- QUIZ NIGHTS
- BINGO
- EASTER EGG HUNT
- CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
- BAKE SALES
- DANCEATHON
Impact
