P & F Newsletter
Hi St James Families
Great to see everyone back for the final weeks of term. We hope it has been a welcome relief to have some normality return!
DATES to REMEMBER
Monday 19 July - P&F Morning Tea
Monday 26 July - P&F Meeting 9am
Friday 30 July - Food Day
DISCO BINGO NEW DATE! SATURDAY 6 NOVEMBER!
While sadly Covid once again prevented us from having another much anticipated event, this time our Disco Bingo Parent Night, we are very happy to announce that we have a new date!
SATURDAY 6 NOVEMBER!
While we know it is starting to get busy at that time of the year, it is a lot warmer (less chance of Covid causing another Lockdown hopefully!?) and it was the best date of two others that our caterer and hosts could do. It will also be a great way to end the year! There was a great vibe and excitement about this event, so we really look forward to reviving that as we move on into the summer months in early November.
Just a few things regarding bookings and table arrangements:
- We know that this may mean some people may have already had prior commitments or events planned and therefore now can't attend. If you are in this position, please contact us on the P&F email as soon as possible and we can arrange a refund of your tickets.
- As this event was sold out this may mean we have some extra tickets. Closer to the event we may be able to open up ticket sales again for extra places so keep an eye out for that
- If you had organised a table and now have people that cannot make it, please let us know if you would like to add anyone in or make some changes. In the month prior to the event we will look over the table arrangements that were set and contact everyone/put a call out again to check for any changes etc.
A huge thanks must go to Junita Yeung, Emma Lovick and Clementine Kohambamwickremage (Grade 2 Champions) for all their work and for dealing so well with the frustration and disappointment of plans having to change! Thankfully it can still go ahead!
SILENT AUCTION THANKS
Thanks once again to all who supported our online silent auction which was meant to run alongside our big social event. It was a great success raising $4,855 for our school! Most people have paid and picked up their items, so we hope you are enjoying or looking forward to enjoying your purchases!
Thanks to Jason Barrie and Rachel Williams for helping Kylie and Sheleigh who set up the auction, by sourcing many of our donations! We appreciate your help!
A VERY big thanks to all the businesses and families below who kindly donated to our auction. Please support them if you can!
NO FRIDAY TREATS NEXT WEEK
Hopefully they will be back next term. Thanks very much to Victoria Spiros, Belinda Bele, Yonna Tang, Catherine Nicolas, Sarah Vogels, Kathryn Levi, Ashleigh Redding and Joanna Green for helping out with selling and serving this term.
Thanks for your ongoing support.
