Dear Parents and Caregivers
This is a final note to thank everyone for their generosity with Bike-a-thon!! The final figure raised with the sausage sizzle, raffles and the commission taken out from Raise It has come to $28,456.29!!!
Massive thank you must go to Monique Ritchie and the FOWS team for all their hard work in promoting this event gathering the prizes, driving the event and feeding us all on the day. Special thank you to Pit Stop for your generous sponsorship Pit Stop Silverdale is owned by a school family, thank you!! Harcourts Cooper & Co supported us with sponsorship providing coffee and ice cream. A great day was had by us all.
Funds raised by the FOWS support first and foremost the school annual budget. Some of the things this lets us do are; enables us to have more Teacher Aides than funded for, a school pool, upgrade/ renewal every year of our iPads, Chromebooks, TVs, sound systems, etc for learning. We know now we can keep our learning spaces up to date and good places to be in.
