Last week saw us get started on Spring Fair planning. There was a lot of good ideas mentioned and we will be following through with many of them. That said, we still would like to keep some of the favourites from previous fairs, and on that note we are on the lookout for a suitable car for the “Smash a Car” attraction. Please make contact if you know of one that could be donated and we can take it from there. Plus we will be having a plant stall again so all you green fingered legends out there please keep us in mind when making cuttings or sowing seeds. We would love your donations. Also we are looking to have a bead booth.  So if you have a pile of beads that you are happy to part with we would love to take these off your hands. Drop them into the office and I can collect them off Christine.

We will be looking for sponsors again like we did last time. Having sponsors enables us to cover a lot of the outgoings and hireage fees before we start the fair itself. We will look to have a tier system again: Platinum $1,000, Gold $500  Silver $250 and Bronze $100.    Sponsors can have their logos on any Spring Fair newsletters prior to the event, and on the flyer/map handed out on the day; they are welcome to put their flag/advertising sign near an attraction they have sponsored or would like to be seen near. Please make contact if you would like to become a Spring Fair Sponsor.

To keep the momentum going with regard to organisation we will be having  a Spring Fair meeting in week one of term 3 on a Wednesday night 7.30pm in the School Staff room. All welcome.

The actual date of the fair is September 21^st 10am-2pm.   Please save the date!

As this is the last newsletter for Term 2, thanks to everyone for your contributions enabling another successful term, and I hope you enjoy the holiday break.

Kind regards,

Merynn Connors
