Last Friday, the School Captains and Councillors should have visited your classrooms to speak with the children about our plans. I wanted to send out a quick reminder to ensure everyone is on the same page.

First, children are encouraged to come dressed in their pyjamas ( with underwear !) or something that makes them happy. This should be a fun and comfortable way for them to participate. 

Second, each class is invited to bake or bring in treats for our bake sale. The bake sales will be held during break times and after school. 

Third, we will be hosting a class competition to see which class can raise the most money.
