Woolworths - Earn and Learn - 1st May to 25th June 2019

Woolworths has launched Earn & Learn, and we're once again taking part. For those parents who aren't aware of the program, if you shop at Woolworths between 1st of May and the 25th of June you can earn stickers. Our school will be collecting these stickers which we'll be able to swap for new school equipment; things like art and craft supplies, sports gear, teaching aids and more.

So for any parents who shop at Woolworths, please collect the stickers and drop them in to our collection boxes, which are located in our school library or at Woolworths in Ocean Keys Shopping Centre.

Community Pantry

22 Oct 2019

Good day Parents,

I am super excited to tell you more about a new Community project that has started at our school this Term.

We have our own Community Pantry that is situated in the old Uniform Shop inside the Undercover Area.

The concept behind the Pantry is that families who are in need, can take any food items available. We also welcome and invite families to make a donation to our Community Pantry.

The Community Pantry is accessible to all Parents or carers of students attending Somerly Primary School and will be open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 8am – 9.45am and again from 2pm – 3.45pm. The door will be left open so that any parent or carer can go and help themselves to food items they need.

Seeing that all items are donated to the Somerly Primary School, we ask that before you take any items from the Pantry that you ensure that food items are in date and have not been opened or damaged.

If you would like to make a donation to the Community Pantry, you are more than welcome too.

SUGGESTED PANTRY DONATIONS are:

Meal kits: Macaroni and cheese, Pancake and Muffin mixes, canned Pasta meals, cup of soup, Instant Noodles
Variety of tinned fruits, vegetables, fish, beans, soup
Jars of sauces, spreads
Non refrigerated UHT milk and milk powder
Ready to eat snacks, muesli bars, crackers
Rice, oil, pasta, cereal, condiments, spices, tea, coffee
Dishwashing liquid, washing powder
Toiletries and personal care products such as soap, toothpaste, deodorant and sunscreen

*Please ensure that all donated items are sealed correctly and unopened, in good condition (no dents), not home-made or require refrigeration and are well within their use by/best before dates.

We are looking forward to any feedback from you with regards to this new project!

Have an awesome week!

Kind regards,
