Winter Pie Drive

The winter weather has definitely started to set in, so it must be time for another pie drive to warm us up! Please place your orders online at fundraising.routleys bakery.com.au and make sure to select 'Ceres Primary School' in the drop down box at checkout. This will ensure we get 25% of the value donated back to us from Routley's to put towards our fundraising efforts. 

 

Anyone can place an order - so please send the link and instructions out to your family, friends and coworkers. Orders will be available for collection from school on Wednesday 19th June.

Students will come home with order forms today after the session.
