Jells Park Parents Committee (JPPC)

Hello Everyone!

By now you should have all received a flyer about the Entertainment Book Fundraiser. The 2016-2017 Entertainment Book and Digital Membership will be available soon from Jells Park Parents Committee. Credit Card orders and Digital Memberships can be purchased via the following secure website  www.entbook.com.au/1874g34. This is the preferred method of payment. Cash orders only (for book only) can be returned to school with the attached payment slip. Orders for "pick-up" are sent home with the students.

There are many fantastic savings to be made using Entertainment membership such as dining, takeaway, attractions, retail and travel offers.

Jells Park Primary will receive $13 from every Membership sold, so please order yours today and tell your family and friends to buy one too.

Any queries regarding the Entertainment books can be directed to Jacqui Gilbert on 0403 019 765 or email: drjacq@tpg.com.au

Today we had the Mother's Day Stall at Jells Park Primary which was a huge success.  The students were all very excited to choose their beautifully wrapped special gifts for their Mum, Grandmother or Special Person. A big thank you to Stephanie Triskelidis for leading and organising this event and to all our parent helpers for supporting Stephanie and running a very impressive Mother's Day Stall.

We hope that you enjoy your gifts and that you have a very Happy Mother's Day.

Thank you to all the committee members for assisting with the Second Hand Uniform Stall that we had last month. We are always happy to accept any donations of PSW or RHS uniforms that are clean and in good condition throughout the year and that you no longer require. These items can be handed  in to the school office.

This year we have a new fundraising activity that consists of recycling unwanted goods. It is called Recycle With Mondo for a Better World. The program involves families within the school community donating any unwanted clothes, accessories, shoes, toys and linen to the school. These items are then placed in special collection bins and our school will be paid $250 per tonne for each clothing recycling collection. The benefit of this program is that it reduces waste to landfill and provides global communities with affordable clothing and employment. So now is a great time to clean out your wardrobes in preparation for this great cause and help our school raise some extra funds. This fundraising activity will run throughout the entire year. The two collection dates in Term 2 will be May 27 and June 23. Specially marked bins are now located in the office and you can start placing all of your unwanted items in these bins before the collection dates. PLEASE NOTE - this is not a rubbish dump, so donated items still need to be useable. 

The email address for the Jells Park Parent Committee is parentcommittee@jpps.vic.edu.au 

I can also be contacted on 0434 146 228 or anikorte@optusnet.com.au if anyone has any further queries.

Next Meeting: Monday 16 May at 2.00pm at the Gym Meeting Room.
