CANTEEN NEWS

Breaking News some new equipment has arrived in our funky little cafe for kids. Thanks to the all research from Michelle Teale, the P & C have raised funds to supply us with a New Pie Warmer and a Groovy Griddle to make sure that our Mums and Dads of the Canteen Crew have an easier job putting together the Healthy options on our New Menu. Sorry about the cancellation of the Cooking Catch up, there are instructions on how to do the Food prep on the canteen wall for all new menu additions. Any probs call Sally. We are slowly revamping the Canteen Image and have bought a Blackboard to Display all the Yummy Specials for the

kids to practice reading and make their own choices. Everything on the New menu seems to be a hit and Thanks to all your support together we raised about $500.00 in the canteen on sports day with no wastage. Great day had by all and we are lucky to have such great people around us. Everyone has been amazing and the Canteen Committee can look forward to things running a lot smoother

and working well for our Kids. We are still open for helpers and you can even just drop in if your free and show your

support. The canteen is a great place to get to know other Parents and we even have fun!!! Enjoy your Holidays, Have Fun See ya in Term 3
