Mrs Kelly
We have been waving a sad farewell to our brilliant admin officer, Mrs Kelly today. Mrs Kelly has been at Monkton Park for 15 years and we would like to thank for the amazing job she has done over these years. Some of our pupils presented her some flowers and a voucher today and we would like to wish her the very best of luck in her new role.

FOMPS
CHRISTMAS FAIR
The Christmas Fair will be held on Friday 15th December
FOMPS would really appreciate parents’ help with the following:
Grand Raffle Prizes – Do you know of, or work for, a company that may be willing to donate a raffle prize? We have been given some wonderful donations in the past and the raffle always brings much excitement. All donors will be acknowledged in our programme and social media.
The ever popular Chocombola will be running again! As in previous years, classes will be running a competition for the one to collect the most chocolate in a week. Please send in chocolate donations with your child(ren) during the week commencing 4th December! Chocolate will be raffled on the Chocombola stall at the fair.
Nearly New Cuddly Toys – Yes, we all have them hidden away somewhere! Here’s your chance to donate them to the Nearly New Cuddly Toy Stall. Obviously don’t send in your child’s forever friend, but those that you’ve thinned out and hidden away can be donated to this stall.
Christmas Tombola – We are running a Non-uniform Day on Friday 1st December when we ask you to bring in a Christmas-themed prize or £1 for the Tombola stall!
Cakes / Biscuits – The café would like donations of cakes and biscuits please to be delivered to School office on the 15th December.
Lastly, VOLUNTEERS! We have a FOMPS committee, but the Christmas Fair requires a little help from a lot of people to make it successful. All we ask is for your support for part of the evening. We will provide a rota so you know where and when your help is most needed. Please sign up on volunteersignup.org/RYQDC OR e-mail FOMPS fompspta@gmail.com
THANK YOU!
