P & F Newsletter
Hi St James Families,
Welcome back to Term 3!
This term starts with our biggest parent event, the end of our online silent auction and our Bunnings BBQ, then is a bit quieter for a while with a special food day or two and then ends with some Father’s Day events in the busy Concert Week and a Kids School Disco and Footy Food Day in the final week!
MORNING TEA THANKS
What a great turn out it was this morning for a quick cuppa in the Community Centre after assembly this morning. It was great to see many people come together as the term starts and we were even treated to an impromptu concert preparation session form the Grade 3’s and 4’s at the end!
Thanks to Emily Bent, Clemi Kohombanwickremage and Alexis Mitchell for coordinating the Morning Tea and to Nicole Spezza, Michelle Holmes and Ebony Soane for organising the uniform stall. From the next to stall we plan to have the eftpos square machine available which will make it so easy to make a purchase!
OUR MASQUERADE BALL IS THIS SATURDAY!!
Join in a night of mystery, dancing, great food and great company. Well over 100 people have booked to come along to this great community event but we still have tickets available and would love to see more people enjoy this great night that has been so well planned by the Grade 2 P&F Event Team, Tash, Meg and Lisa.
