FOSB Christmas Fair Update
We are delighted to announce that we raised an incredible £1242.90 at our Christmas Fayre! This will be added to the existing and ongoing Friends of St Barnabas fund, with the ultimate aim of purchasing a mini bus for use by the school, as well as funding smaller projects throughout the year. Thank you to the parents, children and staff for your generosity in both time and money attending the Fayre and donating tombola items and a BIG shout out to Tesco Blackburn and Turners Butchers for the wonderful raffle prizes. Please continue to support future FOSB events and if you have any ideas or suggestions, or simply wish to get involved, email [email protected]. Don’t forget about our Valentine’s disco on 9th February. Tickets are available to purchase on parent pay for £2.50 which includes a drink and a snack. EYFS and KS1’s disco will be from 5-6pm and Year 3-6 disco will be from 6.15-7.15pm.
Christmas Fair - Thank you!
A huge thank you to everyone who came to our Christmas Fair this evening. It was the first one since the pandemic so it was overwhelming to see such a brilliant turn out and a return to normality. Please see the photos for the winners of the raffles. Please message me if you have a winning ticket and send a photo of your tickets. Thank you so much to our choir for entertaining us. I’m sure you helped to get everyone in the festive mood. A massive thank you to our friends of St Barnabas (FOSB) volunteers and staff for manning the stalls. Also, a huge thank you to all parents and carers for your generosity over the last few weeks with your donations of bottles, toys and chocolate. A special mention to the Merry family for donating the proceeds of their hand made decorations to school too. Thank you so much for your generosity. We have raised a wonderful amount of money to put towards our school mini bus, which like I have mentioned before, will help to reduce the cost of trips for all of our parents and enable us to enter more events and competitions. We have some things leftover from our tombolas and nativity concerts so we will be donating them to DARE( Darwen Asylum and Refugee Enterprise) and the local food bank. These will be passed on to children in need this Christmas. Many thanks for your continued support and generosity. You truly are wonderful parents and your children are simply amazing, Mrs Ham

A huge well done to the winners of the FOSB Easter egg decorating competition. We were overwhelmed with the time and effort that had been put in.

Thank you so much to Mrs Isherwood for presenting the prizes and to all of the FOSB volunteers for organising the competition and buying every child a chocolate bunny.
