Welcome to Week 5. Thank you for all the hard work and support for the School Fair. It was a huge effort from everyone and appeared to be very well attended by many in the community.

*Tuesday 17^th November: Otago Athletics Day.

*Thursday 19^th November: Parent Night for First Holy Communion. 7 pm at Father Pat’s house.

Washable Sandwich covers/chip bags for lunch boxes:

If you missed your chance to buy one of Room 4’s awesome re-usable lunch bags there are a few left and they are $2.50 each. They prompted some interesting conversations during the fair and it will be interesting to have some feedback from those who brought them.

*Do they keep the sandwiches really fresh?

*Are the buttons a problem for younger children?

*Do they keep their shape/quality after lots of washing?

First Holy Communion:

It is time to start planning the celebration for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion on the 22^nd November. It would be great if we could have a small group of people to help plan this. Some things to consider are:

-will the children have a separate table for the ‘breakfast’?

-phone calls to last year’s families to support with a plate of food, set-up, serving and cleaning up

-decorations/tablecloths/flowers etc for set up of tables on the day.

Have a great week.
