The Vinnies Winter appeal is upon us and our Calwell Conference has touched base to call on your wonderful support once again from your Families, Students and staff.
This year Vinnies we are quite desperate for food items for our food parcels as we have had an enormous increase (over 200%) in companions we are supporting over the past 12 months.
The Conference has asked for donations of the following “in date” pantry items that we could use in our hampers: soft taco/burrito kits, large tins of tuna, jars of tuna pasta bake and pasta sauce, rice, breakfast cereal, long life milk, coffee, tea bags, pasta, tinned tomatoes, baked beans, spaghetti and tinned fruit.
In order to help ensure all items are covered, we are asking grades to focus on a different need (see table below). If you are able to help support Vinnies and the Calwell Conference by supplying a food item listed below, please send items in with your child any time between now and Friday 2nd June (Week 8).
| GRADE | FOOD ITEMS |
| Kinder | Soft Taco/Burrito Kits |
| Year 1 | Large tins of Tuna and Rice |
| Year 2 | Jars of Pasta Bake Sauce/Pasta sauce |
| Year 3 | Pasta and Tinned Tomatoes |
| Year 4 | Breakfast Cereal and Long Life Milk |
| Year 5 | Coffee, tea Bags, Hot Chocolate |
| Year 6 | Tinned Baked Beans/Spaghetti and Tinned Fruit |
Next Wednesday the 24th of May all students at St Francis of Assisi Primary School will listen to a book reading of The Speedy Sloth by Rebecca Young and Heath McKenzie.
This is a literacy event that is celebrated across Australia and New Zealand promoting reading and literacy within the community. The story chosen this year celebrates all winners - especially those who don't come first.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in Speedy Sloth activities in the Library at recess and lunch on this day. If your child is looking for something to do and would like to design a pair of cool running shoes for Speedy Sloth, please use the template attached (or draw your own) and return to the Library for display.
