Dear Parent/Carer,
Security Warning
Recently an incident has occurred in the St. Georges area, where an adult approached a child and attempted to persuade them to enter their car. The school has repeated the “stranger danger” warnings to the children, and if you see anything suspicious please report it to the school office and/or report the incident to the police.
PTFA Summer Festival
Last Saturday’s Summer Festival was a fantastic success. Can I please take this opportunity to thank all members of the PTFA, for the incredible amount of hard work and creativity put into this event. The plan was to organise a great family afternoon, and show the local community St. Joseph’s at its best! Can I also thank everybody else who contributed to this great day – especially children from Year 5/6 who planned, created and managed a great set of fun activities. Let’s look forward to summer 2010!
Also, attached is an order form for the PTA Summer Family Social.
School Trips
Several parents have commented on the note from Year 5/6s Mini-Festival, where it stated money raised would go into ‘school trip fund’. Can I reassure you all that any money raised is used to lower the overall cost of school trips for this group of children, and NOT subsidise payments not made for school trips.
Healthy Communities
Fishponds Old Boys FC who train at Forest Road Playing Field have been shortlisted for the Evening Post’s Building Healthy Communities competition, which gives local organisations and groups the chance to win a share of £8,000 worth of improvements. Fishponds Old Boys want to refurbish the shipping container they use as a changing room. For two weeks from Tuesday 16th June there will be a token and a voting voucher in each copy of the Evening Post, so if you can collect as many Building Healthy Communities tokens as you can and send them into school.
Year 6 Leavers
A party has been organised by the ‘parents’ of year 6 leavers at St Joseph’s Pre School Hall on Friday 24th July – 6.30-9.30pm. Tickets can be purchased from the school office.

Lost Property
Mr. Pitt will be displaying lost property in the playground, next Tuesday at 3.15. Any remaining property will be recycled.
SCHOOL MEALS
If your child has a school dinner and is a vegetarian, please could you let the office know so that we can ensure that they are given priority with the vegetarian meals.
