Keeping you informed
This year we're trying a new way of communicating and coordinating Friends of Westdene events. We're going to keep up with the times and use the Facebook Year Group Pages and create a Volunteer Email List. Please search for your year group Facebook page and "like" it so that you'll be informed of events that are happening and be able to respond to requests for help.
If you're available to volunteer occasionally please send your email address to friendsofwestdene@gmail.com and we'll include you (not bombard you) in emails that may request for help with certain events.
Class reps have been appointed for the Reception Year (due to this being a nice way for new parents to settle in) however, as we're living in an internet age, we won't be asking for class reps from any of the other years, as Social Media Channels should be sufficient. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all class reps, past and present, for their valued support over the years. We look forward to your continued support and volunteering at forthcoming events as they cannot succeed without everybody's support.If you don't use Facebook but would still like to be involved then there will always be Friends of Westdene information in the Friday Update.

Easyfundraising
Did you know that whenever you buy anything online you could be raising a free donation for our school? There are nearly 3,000 retailers including Amazon, John Lewis, Aviva, thetrainline and Sainsbury’s, who will donate a percentage of the amount you spend to Westdene Primary School to say thank you for shopping with them. It’s really simple, and doesn’t cost you anything. All you have to do is go to http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/friendsofwestdene.
