Mothers Day 2017

As I sat in bed on Sunday morning, eating cold toast and eggs and sipping weak coffee, surrounded by a pile of thoughtful gifts, I felt loved and blessed.  Two excited boys had presented me with beautifully handmade biscuits, delicious fruchocs and loveheart lollies, a lovely fabric wrapped notebook, and a handful of flowers clutched in a small hand.  These were just a sample of the beautiful gifts on offer at this year’s Mothers Day Stall.

I hope that all the school mums felt the same way that morning and part of that feeling was created by the dedicated P&F volunteers who carefully sourced new and interesting products for this year’s stall along with some old favourites.  Those same P&F volunteers set up an enticing display in Bukatilla and helped small children count out their money, calculate their change and work out how many more items they could buy for their Mums, Grandma’s, Nana’s and those special people in their lives. 

It’s such a joy to watch the care and love that the students show in selecting their gifts and the dedication that our volunteers show for the school community.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Mothers Day as much as I did and had the chance to spend time with loved ones and be spoilt.

SHHHH!! TOP SECRET

The P&F committee are excited to once again run the annual Mother’s Day Stall.

This year we approached a number of local businesses to provide affordable quality gifts ranging from $1 to $8 each. See the below flyer for a sample of what’s available this year for students to buy for Mum’s, Nana’s, Grandma’s or those extra special people in our lives.

The Stall will run on Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th at Recess in Bukatila, so raid those piggy banks, rummage through the couch cushions or ask Dad for some cash and bring it along and have fun shopping with the help of your friendly P&F volunteers.

Note : teachers will assist the younger classes to shop during class time.

Are you interested in helping out at the Mothers Day Stall but don’t have time to commit to the P&F Committee, contact Carly Mickan P&F Chairperson at carlymickan@gmail.com and we can sign you up to help out on the day.
