Don't forget we have launched our FOSS ‘100 Club’. This is a joint venture between the Monk Fryston PTA and FOSS to raise funds for both organisations – please see the rules email in December. We expect this to be popular and should result in big prizes being awarded each month. Numbers can be purchased from ParentPay now.

Selby Music Centre is run by North Yorkshire County Music Service and meets at Selby High School on Saturday mornings from 9.30 am – 12.20pm. Currently, we have 4 different ensembles.

We can offer you a free half term of sessions to get you started!

'Strings'n'things' runs from 9.30 to 10.45 and is for complete beginners up to grade 1 on violins, violas, cellos, guitars and a few keyboards. If you don't yet learn an instrument, let me know and we can lend one to you!

Folk group runs from 9.30 – 10.45 and is for guitar players, from those who know a few chords up to more advanced musicians, plus woodwind players, violinists and keyboard players from about grade 1 upwards.

Selby Youth Choir is from 11.05 – 12.20 and is a great opportunity for anyone of primary school age to sing in a choir, led by an experienced choral conductor.

Senior Strings is from 11.05 – 12.20 and is for players of violin, viola, cello and bass from approximately grade 2 to grade 5.

During the break, our Friends group runs a tuck shop, and you can choose a free sweet treat on your first visit!

Please get in touch with any queries and to let me know if your son or daughter would like to come along.

Many thanks,

Next week we will be on Week 3 of the Spring 1 2023 lunches menu.

Children can decide daily whether they are having a school dinner or packed lunch.

Please ensure you discuss the menu each day with your child so they can decide what they would like to order. Once they know their choices, they will choose this each morning with their teacher during registration.

Each day there are 4 choices, either the hot dinner, hot vegetarian option, jacket potato with a choice of toppings or a sandwich. The sandwich and jacket potato always come with a selection of vegetables/salad on the side and have the full pudding choice for that day.

Packed Lunches - if you are sending grapes in your child's packed lunch, can you please ensure that these are cut in half.

We are delighted to be able to have volunteers into schools again, and would welcome parents to help us. If you are able to give any time to us, either on an ad-hoc or regular basis, you will need to complete a DBS application. Please contact the office for more information.
