Sports Day and Friends of Mount House Summer Fair

The date of our annual Summer Fair is Friday 30^th June from 2.30 – 4.30pm in the school grounds after sports day. We really hope that as many of you as possible are able to attend, as it promises to be a fantastic event and a celebration of the students and the Mount House community.

 

Stalls will include a sweet jar stall, a hamper table, a bottle tombola, a second-hand uniform stall, a book stall, a Pimm’s, Peroni and Prosecco bar, loads of fun activity stalls run by each House, a scavenger hunt, food vans and an ice cream van. Water, squash and an ice cream or ice lolly will be free for each Mount House student and member of staff, who will need it after running their socks off during sports day!

 

All the money raised will go back into the school to provide things like the outdoor tables and benches and more books for the library that have been provided this year. However, the main reason for the fair is for us all to get together to celebrate the end of the year and have some fun!

 

The Summer Fair Committee has been hard at work coming up with ideas and plans for the day, but we do need your help for this to be the best day for the students. In the first weeks after half term, so from 5^th June, there will be boxes placed in reception to collect the following donations. We ask each child to bring in:

• A glass jar filled with sweets – remember no nuts and the sweets should be wrapped. The jar can be as big or as small as you wish and if you’d prefer not to fill the jar with sweets, some small toys or craft items are equally welcome (although sweets tend to be an easier option).
• A bottle – alcohol of course very welcome, but if you’d prefer a soft drink (for example if your child takes public transport/the school bus to school) then that will also be welcome. Please ensure that the bottle is within date and less than a year old.
• Any second-hand books which you no longer want to keep.

 

The FoMH will also be contacting you directly through your year WhatsApp group about hamper donations, which were such a success last year.

If you are unable to donate any of the items listed above, but would still like to give something back to the school, you can always donate by clicking on this link https://bopp.app/link/b2vtt to pay FOMH securely from your bank.

 

Thanks for all your help in making this event fun and successful.
