The 2008 Father’s Day Raffle was drawn today - congratulations to the lucky Dads who won prizes this year! We will run a full list of winners in next week’s Newsletter. HAPPY FATHERS DAY ORANGE GROVE DADS!!
***ATTENTION CANTEEN CUSTOMERS*** We have a shortage of volunteers and are currently unable to open the canteen on Tuesdays - please accept our apologies, but remember it will be business as usual on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We welcome anyone in the school community with a spare hour between 1-2pm, please drop a note in the P&C Box or let a member of the P&C know if you can help us out!
Leichhardt Oval had a very diminished crowd last Friday for the last home game of 2008, and the Tigers experienced defeat at the hands of the sharks, but at Orange Grove the torchlight brigade still managed to park 162 cars and raise $1,620! Our 125th Birthday sausage sizzle did well too, so a huge thank-you goes out to those who gave up their Friday night to help out!
Great to see everyone on the bus again this week - what a lovely morning walk! The bus is still starting from the corner of Church & Mary streets for he next few weeks, so if you were going to join it between Charles St and he new first stop, walk up the hill to the Grocer’s on the corner of Mary St and we can pick you up there! We’ll see everyone next week for the regular fun trip to Orange Grove! And don’t forget, if you would like to try Driving or Conducting let one of the operators know!
This week (August 25 - 29) was National Recognition Week for School Administrative & Support Staff, a chance for all schools to highlight the important roles played by their SAS staff and recognise their contributions. Last Wednesday the P&C held a special morning tea on behalf of the school community to thank Christine, Lorena, Melina, Connie, Joan, Jodie, Lesley and Ron, and to let them know how much the school community values their contribution to the education and support of our children. We do hope they enjoyed it!
Congratulations everyone on a hugely successful Cake Stall! Once again we had significant obstacles to test us - the weather was frightful, everyone was freezing and the pergola was regularly being anchored by human force to prevent it soaring off over Lilyfield - and on top of that there were considerably less in the way of market patrons to swoop on our yummy cakes… But we started the day with more cakes than anyone can remember, and they just kept coming for two hours! They all looked awesome, and we had sold everything by 12.30. So thanks to everyone who baked, sold and purchased their way to Saturday’s record breaking result of $677.50. If Cake Stalls were an Olympic event, Orange Grove would be unassailable!
