Whole School Update Week 5

Whole school reminders/updates:

Laces for Braces Day

• On Friday 8th June the whole school will take part in an awareness day about people with Clubfoot.  It is a worthy cause and funds raised will support the Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
• Club foot is a congenital deformity of the foot that effects about one out of 1,000 babies. It is caused by the abnormal development of a baby’s bones, ligaments and muscles whilst in the womb. Without treatment to help straighten the child’s foot/legs it can cause a lifetime of disability which includes pain and difficulty walking.
• We will be selling $1 ‘racy neon coloured shoe laces’ after school next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday outside the office. On Friday students can wear them in their shoes.  $1 cupcakes will be available for recess on the Friday too.
  These need to be pre-ordered via the order form being sent home this Wednesday.
