GRANDPARENTS’ DAY – FRIDAY 26TH JULY
Grandparents’ Day this year will be celebrated on Friday 26th July. It is a wonderful day on the St Anne's calendar, celebrating the beautiful bond between our students and their Grandparents, culminating in the famous Morning Tea!
All Grandparents and Special Persons in your child's life are invited to join us!
The day will run as follows:
-
8am – 9am – Food drop-off and plate preparation
-
9am - 10am - Grandparents/Special Person Classroom and Library visit, with the opportunity to purchase a book to donate to the school library. This will include a dedication placed in the book on behalf of the Grandparent/special person. Your child will have the first opportunity to borrow the book from the library once the books are ready.
-
10am - 11am - Mass is celebrated in the church with all Grandparents/special person and Students.
-
11am - 12pm - Morning Tea is served for the Grandparents/special person in the Multi-Purpose Hall. The library and classrooms will continue to be open during this time if anyone would like to visit.
We ask that each family supply one plate for the morning tea. This year we request the following:
-
Surname A-D: Fruit Plate
-
Surname F-K: Savoury Plate (eg sausage rolls, party pies, zucchini slice, mini quiche, mini pizzas)
-
Surname L-P: Sweet Plate (slices, cakes)
-
Surname R-W: Sandwich Plate (eg egg, chicken, tuna, cheese & ham, tomato & cheese etc)
If you are gluten free or vegetarian please consider sending along a gluten-free or vegetarian option.
I’m sure many of you have a favourite “go-to” recipe that you like to make, so please feel free to use your preference, but if you are looking for ideas here is a link that you may find helpful. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/collections/morning-afternoon-tea-recipes
All food is to be delivered to the hall in disposable containers / plates between 8am-9am on the day. It would be super helpful if all sandwiches, slices, cakes etc were pre-sliced when dropped off.
GRANDPARENTS’ DAY – VOLUNTEER REQUEST
Those that have attended in previous years will know that Grandparents Day is an exciting day for all families, but it is also a very busy day.
This is a call-out for volunteers to assist with the set-up of the MPH on the afternoon prior (Thursday 25th July from 2:30pm) as well as for assistance on the day with the library book sale, food set-up, serving of tea & coffee, clean up and laundering tablecloths.
Given that this is an event that covers all year levels throughout the school, it is a wonderful opportunity to become involved and get to know other families within the school community. If you can assist, even if it is for only part of the day please sign up on volunteersignup.org/PJ9YY
