BEST WISHES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
As we head toward 2013 I would like to thank you for your continual support of our Parents' Council events and services. With our Festive Store and Scholastic Book Fair coming up this month there has been lots of behind the scenes work to ensure fun and fundraising for our school. Our Gala team has been immersed in planning this much anticipated event and will be hard at work right up until the big night, April 20, 2013!
A well-deserved break awaits us all in a short few weeks, so on behalf of Parents' Council I would like to wish you all a safe and Happy Holiday full of peace, joy and the warmth of family and friends.
Monica Clemiss
Parents' Council Chair
