Commemorative Year Group Tea Towel
This year, the Friends of Edge Grove have organised for each year group to have their own keepsake tea towel containing a self-drawn portrait of each pupil, as well as teachers and learning assistants, which are available to purchase via the FoEG website.
If you would like to place an order, please click on the link below where you will also see an example of the tea towel. Orders can either be delivered to your address (with additional postage costs) or distributed at school by the end of term. Orders must be placed by the 20th November at the latest so that delivery is received before the end of term.

Charities
As many face difficult circumstances through these unprecedented times and with the news that many charities are struggling, with donations falling dramatically, we have been looking at ways we can continue to support the school’s chosen charities.
This term the Pre Prep will be doing a sponsored walk and we will also be supporting the British Legion, Poppy Appeal, Children in Need and Save the Children.
Unfortunately, we are unable to currently accept cash donations due to COVID-19, so we will be adding a £1 for each of the three charities above to the bill for each child. This will mean a total donation at the end of this term of £3 per child. You may of course opt out of any donation by emailing fees@edgegrove.com by Tuesday 10th November 2020. If you wish to donate more then please go online and make a donation directly to the charity.
Wednesday 11th November, Poppy Appeal – Lest we forget
On Wednesday 11th November all children will be given a poppy and will participate virtually in our remembrance service. You can find out more about the Poppy Appeal here.
Friday 13th November, Children in Need
Children in Need is on Friday 13th November and children may come to school dressed in brightly coloured clothes. Please remember that any clothes must be appropriate for any PE or after school activities as pupils will not be able to get changed. You can find out more about Children In Need here.
Friday 11th December, Save the Children – Christmas Jumper Day
Christmas Jumper Day this year will be on Friday 11th December and will be in aid of Save the Children. We always look forward to seeing the wonderful Christmas themed jumpers. Find out more about Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day here.
Pre-School and Pre Prep 'Whatever the Weather' Sponsored Welly Walk, Friday 20th November 2020
At Edge Grove, we have a longstanding tradition of supporting a number of different charities, many of whom rely on donations to provide much needed extra income, particularly during this difficult time.
Whilst we are all currently living in a virtual world, we thought it would be really good fun for pupils in Pre-School and Pre Prep to take part in a Sponsored 4K Walk, or as far as they are able to walk, within the school grounds. Due to the current situation, we would appreciate it if you could collect the sponsorship money and, rather than bringing it into school, make an online payment to the school of the total amount raised with the reference 'SWW', together with your child's name and, space allowing, your child's class too.
The deadline for payment is Friday 27th November 2020 and once payment has been made, completed sponsorship forms should be emailed to kmcgowan@edgegrove.com A sponsorship form for you to print-off and complete is available from The Source, which also contains the School's bank account details. In addition, we have also included a section on the sponsorship form for a contact email address for each sponsor as we would like to send a thank you to all sponsors for their kind generosity, but this is of course at their own discretion.
Once again, thank you for your continued support and together we can make a difference.
