Easter Picnic

It was wonderful to meet with parents and children at our first social event for the year.



Thank you everyone who generously donated food that enabled us to put together the Easter Hampers, and for supporting the Easter Hamper Raffle, which raised $135.


The raffle was drawn at the Picnic and congratulations to the winning children who each enjoyed selecting a hamper for their family!


The Easter Egg Hunt was a hit with children (including LPPS kids past and future!) who had a lovely time finding Easter eggs all throughout the kinder room.

Thank you to everyone who brought some food to share, and especially to those who stayed back to help with clean up of the kinder. We really appreciate it. :)


We look forward to meeting with more families at future social events during the year - stay tuned...

Warmest regards, 
Legend Park Preschool Kinder Committee

Art on Plate

Dear Parents

We will be running Art on Plate this year again.

Art on a plate transforms our children’s art, capturing a point in time in their development, into colourful plates made of melamine. Melamine is durable, long lasting and dishwasher safe.

These personalised plates create colourful tableware, perfect for any occasion including picnics and BBQ’s.  They can be hung on the wall as an art display and make great unique gifts for family and friends.

On the last day of kinder this term, you will find a notice explaining what Art on plate is as well as the cost of it in your child’s folder.

If you wish for your child to participate, the permission note needs to be returned to Legend Park Preschool with your payment no later than 24 April.

On the day you hand in the permission form and payment to Gina or Kathy, you will be given the template and instructions. The Art work must then be returned to Gina or Kathy no later than 21^st May.

  

Many thanks

Legend Park Preschool Kinder Committee

Bakers Delight supporting Legend Park Preschool

Dear parents

I have some fantastic news to share with you all.

Bakers Delight in The Glen Shopping Centre has agreed to donate 10% of the proceeds of every sale back to us when you mention you are from Legend Park Pre School. This also applies to your friends and family. All they have to do is mention Legend Park Pre School to the staff at Bakers Delight at The Glen Shopping Centre and make sure they swipe a special card they have already set up for us. It may not seem like a lot but if we and our relatives and friends all shop there, it will add up by the end of the year.

As such, we ask that you make an effort to purchase all of your bread and bakery products with Bakers Delight at The Glen Shopping Centre. Remember that Bakers Delight bake fresh everyday and we DO NOT usepreservative 282 in our bread, which most other retailers do. Preservative 282 is a very dangerous preservative, especially for children.

So come on, tell all of your friends and family and lets raise some money for our Kinder.

Included in this blog also is a courtesy loaf of bread from Bakers Delight and it is only valid at The Glen Shopping Centre.

Warmest regards

Easter Hamper Raffle

Dear Parents

As part of our fundraising effort this term, the Legend Park Pre-school Kinder Committee will be organising an Easter Hamper Raffle.  We need your help in two ways.

We need donation of all forms of non-perishable food that you think appropriate or should I say, you would like to find in a hamper should you win one. For example, chocolate, biscuits (salty or sweet), jam, sauces (ice-cream topping or Pad Thai cooking kit), Olive oil, Nuttela, wine, juices, etc. We hope that each parent can donate items up to the value of $10. However, we would be most delighted should you wish to donate more than that.

These items can be dropped off in the kitchenette at Kinder when you drop your children off but no later than 14^th of March. Gina, Sharon, Kathy or Pam will be able to help you if you don’t k know where the kitchenette is.

This now brings us to the second way you can help. Once the hampers have been put together, we need your help and support to buy and sell the raffle tickets. We hope to make up to three hampers and pictures of the hampers will be displayed on notice board outside kinder and on the blog. Show these photos to your relatives and friends to entice them to buy the tickets, too.

Once the hampers have been put together, there will be more information on how to purchase the tickets. So stay tune.

I will impart with you a motto I start my day with: Make an effort, not an excuse. Whatever money we make, will go back to buy equipment and resources for our children, so please be generous.

Warmest regards

Legend Park Pre-school Kinder Committee
