MOTHER'S DAY STALL
Our annual Mothers’ Day Stall will be held on Thursday 6th May
All students will have the chance to purchase a gift for their Mum, Grandmother, Aunt or special person in their life.
All gifts cost $5.00.
Payment can NOW be made on QKR (we will have a list at the stall of all students who have paid - PLEASE make sure your child’s details are updated with current year level and class) or you can pay cash or card at the Office.
This year we are supporting the The Very Special Kids Charity who have supplied us with some beautiful cards. If students would like to also purchase a card for Mother's Day, their $5.00 will be donated to The Very Special Kids Charity. You may like to send along an extra $5.00 to allow your child to support this incredible charity.
We are looking for some amazing volunteers to help out with wrapping presents on the morning of 6th May from 9am - 10am and also from 2pm -3.15pm for helping students at the stall. If you are able to help please email ripperfamilies@gmail.com
