Friends of Girton Glebe

Supporting Girton Glebe Primary School, Cambridgeshire, UK

New Term, new ways to get involved with your school!

Hello all and welcome to the joys of Cambridge winter! But it’s not all doom and gloom – there are lots of exciting things coming up 🙂 To help sweep (literally) the fuzzy winter blues away is to help out at one of the following:

  • The Girton Glebe School Pond clearout on Sunday 10 February, running from 10am – 4pm. Our aim for the day is pond and path maintenance with a few other outdoor paint jobs thrown in if enough helpers. Drop-in anytime and stay for however long you can half an hour, or more! Refreshments tea / coffee provided.

Sign up to the Pond doodle here: https://tinyurl.com/ycbdxpme (which helps us with buying supplies and planning) or just come along on the day.

  • The FOGG Cupboard great clearout! How many sessions we need depends on the number of volunteers but there are lots of little tasks that can be undertaken! The poll so far is for this week and next week but it can continue after half term…better to start than to avoid it!

Friends Of Girton Glebe, FOGG, is Girton Glebe’s PTA.

We are a registered charity run by a dynamic and dedicated group of parents and school representatives. FOGG’s purpose is to support our school. We do this throughout the year with regular fundraising activities and events. All funds raised go towards the learning and wellbeing of the children at Girton Glebe, and our events help build a vibrant and cohesive community.

We have a rolling calendar of events including class cake sales which always go down a treat, well attended jumble sales and a very popular Christmas Fair, all run with the help of a merry band of volunteers from across our school community.

We have successfully raised funds for big and small projects including Mathletics, Forest School resources, World Celebration Dance workshops, Artsmark Award, Science week workshops, the 65th Anniversary celebration day and much more. With new projects and ideas taking shape, the next twelve months will be a busy period for the school and for FOGG.

Girton Glebe Primary School is at the heart of our village and FOGG is here to support the school and its community.
