Fantastic Halloween Fete

Dear Everyone,

Firstly a huge thank you for all your time effort in volunteering your time at the fete on Saturday. It was great to see so many smiling faces around the school, and you really helped make the day the huge success that it was. And thanks also to all of you who invited friends, family and neighbours along – I saw lots of grandparents, aunts and uncles all added to the atmosphere. I got feedback from lots of people that they really enjoyed the relaxed feeling, and that they felt welcomed into our school community – I think this is why we had so many people there from outside the school!

Thank you also to those of you who helped in the lead up to Saturday, whether it was selling wristbands at the gate, getting publicity for the event (we were promoted in a number of places including the City of Sydney site and the SMH Events section and I think even on ABC radio), helping sort out the massive amount of “stuff” we had donated to us, or setting up in the morning on Saturday.

We still have some money to collect from the silent auctions, but it looks, at this stage, like we have raised around $12,000 for our school!

Thanks once again, and I hope you had a really great day on Saturday – I know I did!
