Dear Families,

 

A HUGE THANKS to Kayla Martin (6), Nixon Oakes (2), Avril Gallego-Valdes (2), Flynn Larkin (4), Evangelia Botros (1), Sienna Girardi (6), Anneleise Murphy (6), Lolita Lambropoulos (6) and Yianni Lambropoulos (4) who all completed their walks in the past week.

 

Thanks to all the families who have participated and raised money so far we have raised well over $4k so far for our school – a fantastic effort!

 

 

 

TO EVERYONE ELSE – please sign up for our Walkathon using the following link:

https://www.mycause.com.au/events/galileeschoolwalk-a-thon

You can do your walk and raise money anytime through to the end of the school holidays.

Don’t forget to send me a photo once done so we can share them in the newsletter.

 

We are aiming for every child to raise $30-$50 (but any amount big or small appreciated).

 

PRIZES will be awarded in Week 1 of Term 4!!!

 

Thanks everyone!

Emily & your P&F committee
