Dear Felixstow Students and Families
It has continued to be another busy few weeks, with Harmony Day, Scholastic Book Club (Issue2) and culminating with the Bunnings ‘Sausage Sizzle’ BBQ last Sunday.
Bunnings BBQ ‘Sausage Sizzle’ Fundraiser
Another successful Bunnings BBQ Fundraiser was held at Windsor Gardens on Sunday 27th March. At the centre of this success was you, the Felixstow school community who came together to support this event in various ways. I would especially like to give my thanks to Felicity (Beatrice & Violet’s mum), Tom (Jai & Louie’s dad), Amedeo (India’s dad), Phil (Dylan’s dad), Lucy (Nora & Maggie’s mum) plus Nicole, Laura and Laura’s partner Steve who volunteered not only their time but their energy to work at the BBQ under relentless pressure to serve multitudes of people for most of the day. Secondly, I would like to give thanks to those who donated money or items towards the BBQ; Kerryn (Aiden’s mum) Staycee (Charlotte’s mum), Savia & Vinod (Zoe J & Xavi’s parents), Eketerina (Slava’s mum), Laura & Peter (Anastasia’s parents) and Amedo & Vanusca (India’s parents) plus Gillian and Di. Finally, I would like to thank those students & families who came along and said hi and bought a sausage or two.
On the day, we used 38kg of sausages, 30 loaves of bread, 8kg of onion and ran out of cans of coke and solo.
We made a magnificent profit of $1300 which is $200 more than last year. This money will go towards the purchase of more furniture for the Resource Hub to make it an even more inviting and comfortable place for our students to read, gain knowledge and inspire their imagination and creativity.
Bunnings Painting Competition
Ten students were randomly chosen from across the school to participate in the Bunnings Windsor Gardens painting competition. Over the past few days they have spent their break times creating a picture on their own or in pairs, with the only requirement being that it is somehow related to Bunnings. The students showed dedication in giving up their playtime and creativity in designing their pictures. These have now been taken to the store to be displayed to the public, who will then vote for their favourite on Saturday. The winner will receive a cash prize for themselves and money to donate to a charity of their choice. Good luck to all the students who entered – come what may you are already winners!
Book Star of the Month is Louie Beck (Nicole’s class) for his drawings taken from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I invite other students to follow Louie’s great example to become the next Book Super Star by either creating their own illustration from a book, a poster or write a book review and give to Kelly.
Resource Hub Opening Time
As of this Friday at first break, the Resource Hub will be opening its doors for 6 students to enter and spend their time reading a book of choice, drawing/colouring in, playing board games or having some mindful relaxation. Students will also have the opportunity to return and borrow books. To be eligible to enter, students are required to fill in a weekly booking form located in the Resource Hub.
Help Needed!
Volunteers are still required to help with the covering of new books. So, if you have the time and would like to help please let me or Gillian know.
If you have any questions or are able to help in anyway, please don’t hesitate to contact me at; kelly.hunterwright778@schools.sa.edu.au
