Shh..Look away Mums!

All children will be given a chance to shop for their mum or significant lady in their life at our annual Mother's Day Stall on Friday 12th May.

Our Mother’s Day Stall Coordinators Cate Pigeault and Jess Savoia have once again carefully selected a range of gifts for children to select from.

All children will need to bring $5 on Friday 12th May to purchase a special gift.

Keep your eye out Dads for details/reminder coming home in school bags!

Thanks very much to Cate and Jess who have once again organised this for us all. 

They will need some helpers on that Friday morning from 8:50 to 10-30 to 11am.

SPECIAL FOOD DAY – PIZZA!

AUSKICK BBQ

Auskick started last Saturday and what a sunny morning it was for our keen little footballers!

A big thanks to Kylie McMahon for coordinating the Auskick BBQ and for the assistance of Dan Savoia, Jess Savoia, Deanne Wingate and Maree Capponi.

Sausages were free last week for the first session but from this week are $3 each, with snacks and drinks $1 each.  Our coordinators will need some helpers each week with set up, cooking, serving and pack up though there is sometime in between to watch your child participate. Here is the season roster from this week until mid August-  volunteersignup.org/HRFJA

FRIDAY TREATS - LAMINGTONS – CHANGE TO PRICING

At this morning’s P&F meeting we discussed and decided that we needed to raise the prices of Lamingtons. While it is a canteen experience for the kids it is also a little fundraiser and with a significant price rise on the lamingtons (like just about everything else!) we are only just breaking even. So from FRIDAY 12TH MAY the price will be 3 lamington fingers for $1. 3 lamington fingers is equivalent to a full sized lamington. Thanks for your understanding

The roster for the term is here with some places still to fill if you'd like to help:  volunteersignup.org/ACC9H

Thanks for your support,

Kylie
