Why should fund-raising be left to the adults?!
We believe that young people have loads of great ideas for fund-raising and so we have launched the Hope House School Pupil Enterprise Scheme. Based on the Parable of the Talents (Matt 25:14-30), the idea is that we give pupils who wish to be involved in this scheme £2 to invest in their own fund-raising ideas. They might use the money to buy flour, butter and eggs and bake buns to sell to their friends and family. Or they may use the money to buy a bucket and sponge and offer to wash cars for their relatives as a way of earning money. The sky is the limit as far as ideas are concerned!
Pupils who want to be involved in this scheme just need to bring the parent permission slip back to school by this Thursday (23rd October) and they will be given the £2 to invest. They need to bring the funds raised into school (along with a brief note saying what they did to raise this money) by 5th December. All we ask is that the methods used are both ethical and legal!
Pupils will have a direct say in how these funds are spent. Through the Pupil Council, suggestions will be submitted and the Pupil Council will choose the ideas they think are best and all the monies raised will go towards these ideas. FHHS promises to give every participant a certificate and there will be prizes for the most raised and the most innovative fund-raising idea.
So don't forget to return the permission slips and let's find some new ways to raise funds!

Updates
Thanks to all who baked and attended the Bake 'n' Take today. We raised £71.97 at that event.
Don't forget that if you want your child to take part in the Pupil Enterprise Scheme, you must return the permission slips by Thursday 23rd October. We hope many of the pupils will use the £2 given to them to invest in schemes to fund raise for the school. Money will be given to the pupils on Friday before half-term (hence the need for permission slips to be in by Thursday!) and their amounts raised (along with details of how they raised them) should be handed in by 5th December.
All parents should now have had their order forms for Christmas Puddings. These need to be handed in by Friday 14th November at the latest.
Other dates for the diary include the Bag2School Recycling Day on Tuesday 11th November and the Christmas Fayre on Friday 28th November. We now have enough items for the Beauty Hamper, but we still need items for the luxury food hamper. Items needed for this include:
