Pancake Party!
The next FBCS event will be a Pancake Party on Tuesday 21st February at 3 p.m. to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. Instead of a Bake 'n' Take, we will be serving pancakes with a variety of fillings (syrup, lemon, oranges, sugar, chocolate spread) at a cost of £1; we will also be serving drinks.
We have an army of volunteers making pancakes for the occasion, so we hope you will come along to sample their wares.

End of term reflections
The Christmas term is always one of the busiest in school and we hope many of you have been able to see the Christmas concert at the end of term. It's always great to see the children and young people taking part so enthusiastically and authentically.
This has been a busy term for fund-raising too. The Bake 'n' Take on Monday raised £63.89; many thanks to all of you for providing such lovely home baking. We managed to sell 10 more mugs at the concerts and the total raised from Peel2Save is £160 so far. All of these events and projects are well supported by parents and friends and we are grateful for all the money raised so far this term.
In addition to our own fund-raising, FBCS acts as a conduit in school for the charity Adopt-A-Child which we support. Primary children often bring in money each week to support the boy we sponsor (Edgar, who lives in Guatemala). They raised £35.09 this term for him. We also take donations for Adopt-A-Child at the Christmas concert and raised £509.52 this year. For this, we are very grateful; this money will be sent to the charity which aims to 'change the world... one child at a time'. If you want to know more about the charity, visit their website at http://www.adopt-a-child.com/

December news
Many thanks to all who made the Beauty Evening such a success. This event raised £430 for school.
We have just bought a projector and a TV monitor for two of the Senior classrooms, so we are glad to see that funds raised are being used in school to help provide new resources. We aim ultimately to have multimedia resources in all classrooms.
The next event is the Christmas Bake 'n' Take, to be held next Monday (12th December) at 3 p.m. Please bring in your contributions of home baking that morning and try and come a little bit earlier to school that day to savour the goodies on offer. Refreshments will be on sale as well as home baking, and there will be another opportunity to buy anniversary mugs (these would make an ideal stocking filler!)
