2025 FORPS Springtime Fair
The fair committee are ready to collect important items for the fair from our wonderfully generous community. Everything you donate contributes to the success of the fair. We had our first drop off time yesterday morning and another is scheduled for Thursday afternoon (this afternoon).
First up this week is second hand toys and puzzles. These need to be in good, working condition. Any broken toys will need to be disposed of by the school.
Any donations of soft toys will need to be approved by Jackie and Sam. Please message Jackie on 0413218761 if you have any Qs. We are also doing a special collection of Lego and duplo for our construction zone play area. Let us know if you have any of this or just drop off at any time.
Next week we will be collecting second hand books. The RPS second hand book stall is the stuff of legend - people come from all around to browse and buy our donated books. All books are welcome. Adults and kids books of all ages are needed, apart from cook books - these don't sell so well.
Devonshire tea needs you too - jars of Strawberry jam will be gratefully received this week as well.
From now until the fair, the coordinators will be in the Prep break out space on Wednesday mornings (9-9:30) and Thursday afternoons (3-3:45) to receive these goods. (Same place as the book fair).
If you are not available at these times, then you can drop to the office at any time.
