Hello Everyone,
Our current profit from the fete is - $40, 225.80. Wow!! Best fete EVER.
THANK YOU everybody. What an amazing day it was on Saturday. The sense of community and teamwork was more than we could hope for. Thank you for the time and effort you all put in to make sure that our fete was successful and that we raised enough money to help us achieve some dreams. Once I have met with FOS and School Council, I will let you know exactly how we are spending this money.
As well as a special thanks to the parents and helpers, I'd also like to acknowledge our wonderful FOS team who have planned this event for more than a year and worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition; to our sponsors who gave so generously; and to the students and staff who helped as well. The children are still buzzing and excited about it all.
It was great to see so many past students and parents come back to the school to say hello and to support us. The alumni of MMPS will always hold a special place at the school.
I’d also like to acknowledge our Grade 5/6 students who ran Enterprise Alley. They designed, developed, and marketed their own goods for sale and then spent two hours running their own stalls. They learnt so much from the experience. Our Grade 5/6 students raised $1225. Our Grade 5 boys designed and created the signposts in the school and then manned the Ambassadors table to welcome visitors to the school. Our senior students represented us beautifully.
I know that many of you will be exhausted after putting in so much effort (which is why we have the fete every two years), but I hope that you will all celebrate what has been achieved through hard work and commitment to the school.
I could not be prouder to be a part of this wonderful Mount Macedon Primary School community.
There will be more specific news from FOS over the coming weeks, as we finalise the fete.
I just want to take a moment to thank one of our students – Thomas Turner in Grade 6, who found and handed in a large sum of money that must have been dropped from one of the stalls. Well done on your integrity and honesty Thomas!!
This week we continue to be busy. On Wednesday night we have the Parent Information night for 2023 Foundation parents. On Thursday night we have the Foundation BBQ and grade 1/2 BBQ and sleepover. On Friday we have our second Foundation 2023 transition day.
Term four is always super busy, and exciting. Let’s enjoy the last few weeks of this year!
Have a lovely week.
Kind Regards,
Trish
