FOWMS - Friends of West Meon School
FOWMS is a committee of parents who work tirelessly to support the school through a variety of fundraising activities. The money raised is used for resources to support and enhance the children's learning. As part of the fundraising FOWMS organise exciting social events for the children, such as film clubs, discos and the ever popular ice creams on Sports Day!
FOWMS has their own Facebook page. Why don't you take a look and like their page. You would then be notified of any meetings/events immediately.

Here are some picutres of the events organised by FOWMS this year
On Friday 12th December our Years 1 - 6 attended the pantomime Puss in Boots at The Theatre Royal Winchester. The Touchet Trust helped toward the cost of the coach which kept the cost to parents down to a minimum.
The children had a great time and FOWMS provided the sweets and drinks during the interval.
While our Years 1 - 6 were enjoying the pantomime, our Reception class were entertained by Magic Wanda to a magic show.
On 17th December the children enjoyed a traditional Christmas lunch.
FOWMS organised for a very 'special visitor' to vist the children and he had a sackful of presents for them. He arrived on a tractor as the reindeer were getting ready for the big night!
All the children wore their Christmas jumpers and donated money to Save the Children.
The FOWMS team organised an online raffle and a bingo/raffle night to raise funds for a new library space. The whole event was an enormous success. Prizes for the event were all donated by local businesses and members of the community.
We raised a total of £1062!
We will be holding another Auction of Promises and Bingo Night again on Saturday 16th May.
Krispy Kreme Donut Sale
We regularly hold Krispy Kreme Donut Sales each term. These are always a success - who doesn't like a doughnut?
We held a doughnut sale during November and raised an amazing £91! The next doughnut sale will be held on Friday 13th February - just in time for Valentines Day. You will need to order them by going to:

Guess the Weight of the Christmas Cake
Just before Christmas, one of our FOWMS relatives baked a beautiful Christmas cake and kindly donated it to FOWMS. A competition was held for the school and wider community to Guess the Weight of the Christmas Cake, and the person with the closest guess would win this wonderful festive treat.
Nigel, who works in the Village Shop, came the closest with his guess.
Well done, Nigel!
