NEW STAFF
I am pleased to inform you that we have a new Midday Supervisory
Assistant (dinner lady). Mrs Rowena Cockerill, mum to Daniel, Alex and
Charlotte, began her duties three weeks ago, and is still smiling!! We
have also appointed a caretaker / cleaner – Ms Emma Holberry, whom some
of you will know as she lives locally. We hope they will both be happy
at Amotherby School.
We are still in need of a crossing patrol person, so if you know of
anyone who would be interested or are interested yourself please contact
school.
HARVEST COLLECTION
We have received many letters of thanks from the recipients of the
Harvest hampers distributed after last week’s Harvest Festival. Many
thanks for all your contributions which enabled us to assemble over
twenty hampers. My thanks also go to Mrs Liversidge and Mrs Spence who
put the hampers together.
The church was full and I hope those of you who attended enjoyed our
celebration. We made a collection of £165.30, £100 of which the school
has donated to the Martin House Hospice.
MUSIC TUITION
There will be no music tuition for those children who have their lessons
with Mrs Watkinson for the week commencing 30th October 2006.

BAGS2SCHOOL & BOOK FAYRE
Our Bags2school collection earlier this term weighed in at 720 kilos,
giving a total of £165.60 raised for school funds. I’d like to thank all
of you who made a contribution towards the collection.
I’d also like to thank Mrs Hopkin, Mrs Chazallet, Mrs Bills and Mrs
Pitkin who helped ‘run’ the book fayre after school and those of you who
made a purchase; the takings amounted to a staggering £541.91! School
receives a 40% commission and books for use in school have been
purchased.
ICT FACILITIES
As mentioned in last month’s newsletter, the ICT suite is open every
evening after school from 3.30 – 5.00pm, except for a Thursday when it
is computer club until 4.00pm. The computers do have internet access,
and are available for parents and children to use. Children must be
supervised by an adult. If you are interested in using the suite contact
school so that we know who to expect and can just draw your attention to
some guidelines we have for the use of the suite.
