Friends Of Grosvenor School Introduction
WHO ARE THE FrOGS?
All parents automatically become members of FrOGS when they send their children to Grosvenor School. We are not a PTA.
There is no cost involved. Everyone is invited to all the events run by FrOGS and everyone is encouraged to get involved.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We organise events for the enjoyment of the parents and/or children. As a result we often raise money which is used for the children’s benefit. We provide “extras” that they might not otherwise have or support school projects. We also help promote the school through our activities.
COMMUNICATION
Forthcoming dates for events, along with updates and requests for help are sent out in the School Newsletter. There is also a notice board at the front door of the main building. Meeting dates and FrOGS event dates will be posted on the Diary of Events page on the website. Each form has a form representative who can act as a valuable communication link. Please feel free to ask for information or tell them what suggestions you may have.
Alternatively, we have a suggestion box under the FrOGS notice board. Please complete the forms by the box in the porch which has the following information requests:
I AM HAPPY TO HELP / I CAN DO: NAME – EMAIL – CONTACT - SUBJECT – MESSAGE
We will be most grateful for donations of Raffle Prizes, your free time – however limited – or contacts and skills we can utilize.
Alternatively, please email frogs@grosvenorschool.co.uk
HOW DO WE SPEND THE MONEY WE RAISE?
We are happy to receive any suggestions from parent’s and children as to where the money should be spent. The teachers always have ideas too. The “extras” help to keep school exciting and cheerful.
