IT'S TIME TO CLEAN YOUR KITCHEN CUPBOARDS!

The P&F has allocated funds from the Easter Raffle fundraiser for the purchase of Sandpit toys and storage options for the toys. After a discussion with the School Leaders and gaining feedback from the students, it has been determined that old kitchen items are the preferred sandpit toys.

So, with this in mind, we are looking for donations of the following:

• Small lightweight saucepans or pans
• Silicone cake tins
• Jelly moulds

If you have any of these items that are taking up space in your kitchen and you no longer need them, please bring to the office.

Once we have collected donated items, the P&F will look at what is still needed and will use the funds allocated to add to this equipment. The more we have donated, the more funds we will have available to purchase better quality storage options for this equipment.
