Friday 30th October will be our annual ‘Be Awesome Day’! This year, our awesome kids will be running a ‘Show Day’ as part of our celebrations and we welcome you to join in the fun! In order for our day to be very awesome and super fun, we will need lots of help from our wonderful parent community. The 3/4's would love donations of some of the following items:
- Individually wrapped chocolates or multipacks
- Individually wrapped lollies
- Blocks of chocolate (x7)
- Hair Spray
- Plastic stencils for hairspray
TOYS! We have had a number of students bringing toys to school lately. We ask that you please support and encourage your child to keep their special items safely at home.
Student Topic Projects: We are still on the look out for more shoe boxes that students can use during their upcoming diorama projects in Week 7 & 8. Thank you for the helpful donations so far, please keep the boxes coming in!
