Parents & Friends
Hello Community!
Hoping that everyone is managing as well as possible throughout what seems to be a never ending roller coaster.
♥️Lockdowns aren’t easy on anyone, so please remember to reach out virtually to friends and neighbours to make sure they’re doing ok - you might brighten someone’s day (or week!) with a random act of kindness.
Need some ideas? Try this link: https://www.littledreamers.org.au/random-acts-of-kindness/
Though please remember to follow the current restrictions when carrying them out!
🍞 Next time you’re grabbing your bread at Bakers Delight Brentford Square, don’t forget to mention that you’re a member of the MPRPS community - Greg & Bronwyn donate a % of your purchase back to the school. It’s an easy way to support the school as well as local businesses.
🥣 Jess Sterritt Walker co-ordinates support for school families through an anonymous volunteer community. Your family, or a family you know, may be having a challenging time due to the latest lockdown.
Please know that you can reach out to Jess to let her know what you need - eg. groceries essentials, some snacks for lunchboxes or a few home cooked meals. Jess reaches out to her volunteers who provide what’s needed and both parties stay anonymous to each other.
If you need help, or if you’d like to help, you can email Jess at:
☕️Thanks to those parents who were able to attend last week’s P&F Meeting. In addition to Sue & Kim, we had Sarah, Melanie, Emmanuelle, Tegan, Miranda, Leonie, Emily and myself - I hope I didn’t forget anyone….
We discussed upcoming events such as School Disco and Father’s Day Stall, picture plate gifts for Kindergarten, Christmas Tree orders (never too late to start getting ready for Christmas!) and ways parents can help in the classroom.
👍🏻 If you haven’t already, please join the Parents Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mprpsparentsandfriends/
This group was started by Trish Brimelow 6 years ago, and is a great place to stay up to date with school events and connect with fellow parents.
