School Gala

Keep bringing in your items for the gala! 
Our class raffle theme is Black and White - anything that fits this colour theme, could be liquorice, could be white chocolate, anything penguin/zebra related! Stationery in these colours, black socks, black and white napkins, white candles, black and white packaged toiletries, black shoe polish, the idea is to get looking for black and white!

Now's the time to really clean out your room, there is a stall for books and toys and another for white elephant items.  Give your soft toys a wash before bringing them.  Books, toys and white elephant items can be dropped into Weka during gala week.
