The Friends of St. Joseph's School

Happy Friday! We have just released the first newsletter for the new academic year.

Hope you enjoy reading our successes in Term 1

Our fabulous local book shop, The Book House, Thame offer a great initiative to support all local schools, including ours.

Thank you to the volunteers who took time out of their evening to support the Thame & District Round Table 753 Santa sleigh on behalf of The Friends!

It was a great evening made all the better by seeing lots of St Joseph’s school families on the route!

We had some gifts (smellies, toiletries) leftover from Elfridges, so we decided to donate them to Love in a bag - Thame thank you Jane!

We are glad the gifts will go to helping others in need at Christmas and spread a little joy!

🥁Christmas Raffle drawn this afternoon🥁

Friday 13th was definitely lucky for lots this afternoon, when our raffle was drawn after school in the school hall.

Thank you for everyone that attended the draw, everyone who has supported us by purchasing tickets and the biggest thank you goes to parent of the school Rob Woodcock, who sourced the awesome prizes!

We were too busy drawing the winners to get any pictures but here are some pictures of a few of our hampers and thank you’s to the local companies who gave prizes: Bizzie Lizzie Flower Shop , The Book House, Thame, Sprinz & Nash Veterinary Surgeons, GAIL'sThame, Aston Hearing Services Ltd, Powerhouse Performance Club, Thame Barns, Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital Whizz kids Thame Farol Ltd there are lots more but hopefully we’ve tagged you on previous posts!

Final count yet to be done, but looking like we have raised over £550….. THANK YOU! 🤩

A very festive time was had last night at our wreath making workshop. From traditional wreaths to ones with a more modern twist! Here are a few pictures from the evening and wreaths which were created.

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported. A few big thank yous; our teacher, Harriet, who guided us through the process and St Joseph's Church, Thame who allowed us to host the evening in the beautiful hall.

We have 4 wreath making kits available to purchase, you will just need to get some foliage. £10 - message if you’d like one.
