SOCIAL FUNDRAISING NIGHT OUT
Over the next 2.5 years FOSG have been challenged to raise £17,000 to provide our school with 50 educational tablets which will go across all year groups – so your support to hit this target will go a long way to benefit all the children! Profits from the Social Night on the 12th November will go towards meeting this target. I have parents interested already but I still have number of places available. More support is needed. It will be a good opportunity to meet other members of the St Gregory’s school community.
HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOUR TICKET YET?
School social night out to be held at Cheltenham Town FC on Tuesday evening 12th November arrival 6.00pm. The night will consist of dinner, chat and after dinner entertainment watching the football cup v Newport County. Tickets £35 a person which includes a donation to the FOSG. Tickets available now via PARENT PAY.
CLOSING DATE to buy tickets is this Monday evening 14th October 2019 as I need to confirm numbers attending with Cheltenham Town FC.
Thank you for your support, Thomas Blanch.
Our first International Food Fiestas was a huge success. We want to say a huge thank you to all who supported this event. The children had a wonderful time and learned so much.
This event has been designed to give the children and their parents a chance to have fun together, try new foods, celebrate the diversity within our school community and meet other families too. Pop the dates in your diary:
Y5/6—Friday 27th Sept , Y4/3—Friday 11th Oct, FS—Friday 25th Oct
Please start thinking about what food you’re going to make to represent your home culture and come along to help your children in their quiz and games, meeting other parents along the way.
A huge thank you to all our helpers!

On Friday 20th September, there will be a Climate Strike in many towns and cities across the world.
The aim of the strike is to show solidarity in a plea for governments to take action. Children and students have been striking on Fridays for over a year and this strike aims to involve all generations. It has been over 5 months since a climate emergency was declared in UK and also in Cheltenham and yet we have seen little change. As stewards of God’s creation, we are supportive of this action at St Gregory’s and welcome you and your children to take part if you wish to do so.
The Strike falls across lunchtime on Friday 20th Sept (this Friday) and attendance will not be affected as long as your child is signed out around midday and then signed back into school by 1.15pm (this extends afternoon registration by 15mins after the Strike finishes to give children chance to get back to school).
Details of the Cheltenham Strike can be found here: https://ukscn.org/events/?postcode=GL20%207PU
If you wish to know more about the climate emergency we are facing, please talk to Mrs Oliver or Mrs McKenzie-Ford.

“This is not a single-generation job. It’s humanity’s job…Let’s all join together; neighbours, co-workers, friends, family and go out on to the streets to make our voices heard and make this a turning point in our history.” Greta Thunberg
Looking forward to seeing you all at our Aspirations Day promptly at 2:50pm today
