Market Cross Fashion Show
This fashion show is in aid of our Autism Unit Building Fund..
If you are going please buy your ticket from the school as proceeds from tickets sold on the door go to the running costs whereas money from tickets sold by the school goes straight into our funds. 
It is generally a hugely enjoyable night and professionally run.
Many thanks to all the parents who are selling tickets. Those parents may drop money into Bernie for lodgement. Tickets may also be purchased from Bernie, class teachers or parents who are selling in the yard.
 
Silver Circle
Silver Circle cards were sent out last week.. One card per family has been given out. Oldest/only child takes the card. Please support this draw as it is our largest fundraiser of the year. The first draw will take place on October 28th. We expect every family to contribute by buying at least one line, as the money is spent on educational equipment and ventures for the children. All cards must be returned to the class teacher whether fully sold or not. Feel free to request extra cards! 10% commission is paid to seller on fully sold lines. A full list of winners will be announced each week and published on the website www.stcanices.net
