Book Fundraiser for Victorian Christian Schools

Monday, March 09, 2009
The Junior School Council organised a Book Swap to support fellow Christian Schools in Victoria. There were two ways to help. As we did last year, the school asked for donations of secondhand but well cared for children's books. These books were sold for between 50 cents and $5.00. Throughout the day Teachers took children in class groups and assisted them with their purchases. Children who brought in books for sale or donation were given one voucher to allow them first choice of the "For Sale" books.

The second way the school is helping is through a direct donation of books to Christian Schools in Victoria. These books were either new, or used but in excellent condition.

A BIG thank you to Mr Groves and his class for all their help. Thank you also to parents who served on the stall and all who supported the Book sale particularly to infants and transition teachers who had to deal with tears and fears of lost money etc.. The Junior School Community raised $1013.75 with still a little more money coming in.

The donated books have already been sent to Victoria and the money will be sent as a cheque to Plenty Valley Christian School to assist the families who lost houses in the fires.
