🎅🎄 We are so excited for Santa Hat Day tomorrow! Students are invited to come to school in their usual uniform with a Santa hat for some festive fun as we wrap up our Vinnies Christmas Appeal. If you would still like to donate, please bring your donation to the library in the morning. At recess, we will also have a Christmas Stall set up, with all items priced at $2 or less. There will be Christmas decorations, cards and ornaments for sale, as well as delicious Christmas baked goods to enjoy. A huge thank you to our Mini Vinnies team for their hard work, and as always, to our amazing community for your generosity and support in helping those in need this Christmas season 💚✨
