The Snack Shack School Canteen It was so wonderful to see grandparents; parents and friends all come together to help celebrate a lovely morning at our School, with record numbers in attendance a good time was had by all. I would like to say a very big thank you to all the volunteers that had either helped on the day and or donated yummy cakes, scones and slices for the School’s annual grandparent’s day morning tea last Friday. Your efforts help pull together a very successful and very much appreciated event. Thank you for all the wonderful team work displayed on the day. Well done Ladies.
