F.A.I.N.S.
stands for Friends of Almondbury Infant and Nursery School and is the
parent/teacher association for the school. Made up of parents and staff,
the group is a registered charity whose main aim is to raise extra funds
whilst providing social activities for the families and staff at the school.

The
committee meets every half term and tries to come up with new ideas on how
to raise money. Some of the more recent successful events have included
sponsored good deeds, funny face place mats, discos for both children and
adults and of course the famous summer gala. One idea for next year is an
indoor ice skating rink. However, if there is anyone out there with a tried
and tested suggestion we would love to hear from you. |

What
do they do with the money they raise? Well some of the projects have involved
creating something completely new: the pond in the school field and the
coloured concrete animals in the playground. Others have been a little less
ambitious: new computers, curtains for the hall and a contribution towards
the new storage building for the early years unit to name but a few. |

Finally, thank you for taking
the time to read this page, feel free to check out the other pages and
see the pond and animals in all their glory!
P.S. Did we mention that we paint those animals every year?
