A letter from Friends of RGS

Dear parents, guardians and friends of RGS,

Thank you to those who have kindly signed up to the 200 Club, we've had a huge surge in numbers. If you want to join in, please sign up through ParentPay at any time during the school year.

After a successful Year 6 transition evening a number of parents new to the school expressed an interest in getting involved with FRGS, which was wonderful. Should any existing parents be interested in getting involved we would love to hear from you at friends@ripongrammar.com

Tickets for the Renaissance Ball on Saturday, November 19 are on sale now and should you wish to organise a table we urge you to do so before the end of term, rather than leaving it until September. Deadline for all ticket sales is Friday, October 7, unless we sell out beforehand. There are tables of ten or 12 or you can come in a smaller group and we will organise a table for you.

This event - featuring the New York Brass Band pictured at this year's Glastonbury, above - is the biggest fundraiser the school has boasted in a number of years and alongside raising funds for a Health, Fitness & Well-being Suite that will benefit every child, it presents an exciting opportunity for parents to socialise and meet other parents.

Additionally, if you can source any raffle or auction prizes, we would be most grateful and look forward to hearing from you. Alternatively, donations can be left in reception.

Dates for next meeting: Wednesday, July 13, Claro Lounge, Ripon, 5.30pm

Formal meeting: Wednesday, July 20, Bishopton House, 4.45pm

FRGS supported dates for July:

Friday July 1, Sports Day

Thursday July 7, Scrooge

Friday July 8, Scrooge

Tuesday July 19, Sports Award evening

Calling All Bakers

Any home baked donations or purchased cakes etc. can be brought into school on the morning of the event and left in reception. If you are interested in signing up to the baking group that bake for school events, when time allows, please do get in contact with friends of school on friends@ripongrammar.com

Any donations for the above events would be very much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Friends of Ripon Grammar School
