UPDATED - Term 3 fundraiser
Thank you to everyone for supporting this fundraiser. Not only was this successful in raising funds, it was fun and exciting for the students to receive their orders.
Total amount raised was $2300. We would like to thank everybody who participated in the Krispy Kreme fundraiser and a special thanks to all the fabulous volunteers who helped sort the orders prior to collection on Friday.
Check out the number of boxes that Kristie collected from 'Krispy Kremes' in Fawkner, Melbourne.

Bunnings BBQ
We will be running the BBQ at Bunnings Shepparton on Sunday 1st December.
Bunnings BBQ's are enjoyed by customers every week. These are valuable fundraising opportunities for local community groups, and all of the funds raised go straight to the community group conducting the fundraiser, in this case St Mary's Primary school. Bunnings BBQ's are extremely popular and are typically booked out up to six months in advance, we have been fortunate to have 2 opportunities this year.
Thank you to everyone who responded to our call out for help, Volunteers will be contacted in next couple weeks. If you are interested, some further volunteers would be great for the afternoon shifts.

Classroom Purchases
Recently each classroom received $100 from the P&F to purchase new resources for the children. The teachers were most appreciative with most classes already been shopping. Here are some pictures of where the funds were spent.
