GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
We have a growing lost and found table by the main office. If you are missing something, please come by have a look (even if you’ve already checked as new things are arriving daily) - we also have smaller items kept in the office if you’ve lost things such as jewellery, etc. All unclaimed items will be donated on December 22nd!
Kindness Drive: Our food banks are being accessed more than ever and we can help. Block 2 classes are asked to fill a donation box with food items and home basics to help support the Sidney Food Bank. Check out the posters around the school and on your class donation box for a list of recommended items. All classes that collect a minimum of 10 items will be entered into a classroom draw for PRIORITY seating at the Staff Holiday Show on the 22nd!
We have some bus cards as well as photo packages available for pick up in the main office. If you ordered a photo package and haven’t received it yet, please come by and check.
