MOTHER’S DAY STALL Friday 8th May 2020
The Mother’s Day Stall will be held on Friday 8th May in the School Hall. Each student will have the opportunity to purchase gifts for their mum, nan or special person, to show how much they appreciate them. The gifts are either donated or sourced by the Craigslea SS P&C.
Gifts range from $1 to $10 and are sure to make everyone smile.
Please arrange for your child to bring money and a shopping/plastic bag on the day and each class will visit the stall with their teacher at a pre-arranged time.
The Mother’s Day Stall is here to support and raise funding for our school and the students, and we would appreciate your assistance in having a successful Mother’s Day Stall. A request for volunteers has been emailed and we would love to hear from you, if you are able to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated and refreshments will be provided to say THANK YOU to our volunteers.
