Friends of Greens Norton School (FROGS)
We are a friendly relaxed group who rely on the support of parents, grandparents and carers of children in the school and the wider village community to help us.
There are lots of ways to get involved, from joining the fundraising group using Amazon Smile or Easy Fundraising to do your online shopping, or direct donations. To find out more please email us at GreensNortonFrogs@gmail.com. We would love to hear your fundraising ideas or to welcome new committee members.
Our aim:
To raise as much money as possible in order to help the school enrich its educational offering outside its usual budgetary constraints.
We pledge to raise money in a friendly, appropriate and sustainable way and to be community focused and, where possible, support the village.
We will achieve this by:
- developing relationships between staff, parents and others involved in the life of the school
- arranging and participate in fundraising events and activities
- organising fun social events for the pupils. their families and the wider community to enjoy and participate in
