We are looking for donations of Plants, home made Jams, Pickles and Chutneys to help raise funds for the continued development of the school garden. Also if you have any small empty glass jars you could donate they would be much appreciated.
Food stuffs will need to be labeled with a description and the ingredients. (ie Strawberry Jam -strawberries, sugar and lemon juice) If you need help with this please let me know.
Please leave plant donations in the garden court yard and glass jars and jam donations in the school kitchen (I will leave a box clearly marked in the centre kitchen unit)

Eveleigh Markets Stall Fundraiser - Volunteer Request
Our Eveleigh Market stall has been confirmed for Saturday 22nd May 8am-1pm.
The stall will be selling home made cakes, cookies, muffins, buscuits, and the like. The funds that we raise from the stall will go to the purchase of Music program requirements that Graham outlined at our recent S&C meeting.
It is a great initiative that will enable the children to a better environment to practice, and access to instruments that they have never had before.
In order for the stall to be successful I'd like to call for VOLUNTEERS in 2 area's:
1. Volunteers willing to assist at the stall - on Saturday 22nd. If you can nominate the time that you can attend. (we need a minimum of 4 people for each time slot ).
7-8am : Setup
8-10am : "Earlybird" Selling.
10-12 noon : "Sweet tooth" Selling.
12 - 1:30pm : "Excess" selling and breaking down the stall
2. Volunteers willing to make a cake, cookies, buscuits, muffins, etc. for the stall.
If you are able to confirm your willingness to volunteer by return email ( Darloparents@hotmail.com ), or by note in the S&C mailbox in the office that would be much appreciated. If you can send through a response by Friday 15th.
Note that the kids will be making a banner/poster for the day, and if you would like your child to participate in the 'selling' at the stall it would be great to have them.
I look forward to your involvement, and success of the fundraiser.

November meeting postponed one week
The Fete on Saturday was a brilliant success, in part because of the weather but primarily because of the incredible effort, time, optimism and sheer kindness of so many of you who volunteered beforehand and on the day in A myraid of different capacities. A massive thanks to you all - ESPECIALLY STALL CO-ORDINATORS who may never have volunteered had they known the incredible output required of them for 8 hours on Saturday. It was particularly astonishing that the whole school was stripped and cleaned up within an hour of the Fete finishing. Now that really is an advertisement for the might of volunteer labour!
In gratitude
