Happy Mother’s Day
We wanted to wish all our moms out there a very special Mother’s Day on Sunday. We hope you feel as special as you we know you are! Thanks for all you do to make our world a better place.
Many Thanks
I wanted to send a big thanks to Parent Council for a great family dance last night. It was fabulous to see all the kids and families having a great time together. Also thanks to all the volunteers who made this event possible – what a massive undertaking. Thanks also to the wonderful wellbeing activities suggested for families to engage with. Thanks to all those families who donated goods for the Mustard Seed - your generosity is much appreciated.
