TPS Election Day Sausage Sizzle and Cake Stall Saturday 21 May
Have you decided what you are going to make for the TPS Election Day Bake Stall? Each family has been sent home a 'baking pack' in your child's school bag. If you have misplaced your pack, we have spares at the office. Please deliver your baked goods to the school kitchen from 8:30am on Friday 21 May. Make sure you follow the instructions so they are beautifully presented and have ingredients clearly labeled. There will be one prize for each year level for the tastiest looking baked item, which will be announced at assembly that day. If you're looking for inspiration, check out the recipes by clicking here .
Parent Helpers Required
Time to roll up your sleeves...we need more helpers on Election Day, throughout the day. There are lots of jobs; behind the BBQ, selling cakes and drinks or simply setting up or cleaning up. Come as a family team, it would be wonderful to have students representing the school at the cake stall. You can sign up here: https://volunteersignup.org/K933Y
