PLEASE HELP!<br />
In order to make the <strong>Celebration</strong> <strong>Day</strong> a<br />
huge success, we need parents to<br />
volunteer to assist on class-lead stalls,<br />
eg: Cake Stall, Sausage Sizzle, Guess<br />
the Lollies in the Jar, etc.<br />
A roster for your participation was<br />
forwarded to all children yesterday.<br />
Please complete and return to your<br />
child’s teacher by Friday 8th March.<br />
Thank you in anticipation of your<br />
support.<br />
CAKE STALLS<br />
We will also be operating Cake Stalls,<br />
with a focus on ‘old fashioned biscuits<br />
and slices’, on our <strong>Celebration</strong> <strong>Day</strong>.<br />
In the coming week, all families will<br />
receive a paper plate, plastic bag and<br />
written advice regarding how you can<br />
contribute. We would greatly<br />
appreciate donations of ‘old fashioned’<br />
cakes such as ANZAC biscuits, ginger<br />
snaps, cup cakes, yo-yos, coconut ice,<br />
honey joys, etc. It would be preferable<br />
if the cakes and slices were individual<br />
serving size.<br />
Please note that, due to council<br />
guidelines, cream and custard can not<br />
be used.<br />
Thank you in anticipation of your<br />
support.<br />
