Preserving Update:
Stage 2 Stall
• With planned donations of oranges
Parent Support with Cooking
At the end of last term, a note was sent
home to Stage 2 parents.
Since last term, only 8 parents from
Years 3 & 4 have volunteered to cook or
help out.
A huge thank you to those parents!!) :
-
4x chocolate crackles
1x fudge
1x coconut ice
1x toffee
1x chocolate coconut slice
1x honey jumbles
We are desperate for more volunteers
to make the stall a success.
We would love to hear from you if you
could try your hand at making toffee,
fudge, chocolate crackles, coconut
ice, or one of your own favourite
recipes.
A reminder note has been sent home to
Stage 2 with recipes for parents to try
out and indicate if they are able to
assist with cooking, or in other ways.
We look forward to hearing from more
volunteers.
If you have any questions, please call
Vanessa Talty on 0423 845
and grapefruits on the way, there will
be more batches of marmalade to
come.
• We still have some jars remaining so
will not ask for more donations from
the school community at this point.
• Tentative pricing for the preserves is
as follows:
- small jar $5 (2 small for $9)
- medium jar $7 (2 med for $12)
- large jar $9 (2 large for $15)
Contact: Vanessa Talty, Cathryn
Crowle and/or Claire Pospischil
Book Stall:
Early Stage 1 Stall
After our last successful mufti day for toys,
we are looking forward to another
fantastic response for books.
As we are expecting a ‘library’ of books,
it would be extremely helpful to the
volunteers sorting through the donations
on mufti day if books were grouped at
home before sending them in on Mufti
Day – ie Travel, Cooking, Sport, Fiction /
Non Fiction etc.
We will also gratefully accept for the stall
CD’s, Video, Computers and old records.
All enquiries please contact Gulshan
Muttoo .
