WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!!

MISC…

Thank you to all families that donated items/money to go towards the raffle baskets for the school concert last week.  Unfortunately we didn’t receive enough to support the creation of a basket by the deadline so we decided to hold over the donations and they will be used to create baskets for the Clairlea Funfair.

Clairlea Spirit Wear…

All Clairlea Spirit Wear has been distributed with the exception of a few items that will be coming in the next week.  We experienced a delay in the process because to ensure accuracy we fit each child individually to ensure that items ordered were the correct size because exchanges are not an option.    Once the child was fitted the parent was contacted for approval.  We received a lot of feedback that parents were grateful for the size check and there were a lot of changed sizes but it did lengthen the process to enable fitting hundreds of garments.  To ensure a speedy process going forward a new plan has been devised for next year whereby there will be specific fitting days allocated on evenings and weekends whereby if you plan to order spirit wear you can come to the allocated fitting day(s) and place your order.  This will ensure a quick turnaround going forward.  Thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy your spirit wear.

Pizza Lunch…

Pizza Lunch has been a tremendous success twice a month for the last three months.  We will continue to have pizza lunch the 2nd Wednesday and the last Wednesday for the month of June.
