Halloween Bake Sale Fundraiser

A huge thank you the Parents' Association who organised a great Bake Sale this morning. It was  a lovely opportunity for parents to meet other parents over a coffee and cake. It was also a chance for new parents to meet members of the Parents Association. Thank you to all the PA members who gave their time, who organised refreshments, baked, set up and tidied up the hall.  The PA is always looking for more volunteers. Please let your class represenative know if you are ever available to organise or  help at a PA event.  Thanks a million again for all you do to support Saint Mary's BNS.
