Chestnut Festival 2014—congratulations to MDPS’s fundraising committee and volunteer family staff mem-

bers for facing the rainy and windy conditions on Sunday. The inclement weather did not deter a good turnout

of visitors, young and old, to this year’s Chestnut Festival. Our school’s stands were loaded with lucky jars and delicious cakes. The sale of hot and steaming corn on the

cob was just the job for such cold weather and lots of children enjoyed the ever popular fairy floss and were

excited by their terrific lucky jar surprises.

On behalf of the students, who benefit from such a wonderful display of generosity, we would like to express

our sincere appreciation to all the families and friends who helped make the fundraising for our school successful

once again this year. The fund raising committee raised over $1440 for our school, which will go towards pur-

chasing stage curtains and microphones. A terrific effort!

ANZAC Ceremony—many congratulations go to the students of the Senior Learning Unit for their successful

and inspiring assembly last Friday in commemoration of ANZAC heroes past and present. The students’ appreci-

ation of the courage and bravery, displayed by our serving men and women, was clearly on display. The students’

poems and biographies about the selflessness of Australian civilians, nurses, resistance fighters, soldiers, airmen

and sailors demonstrated depth in both their research and learning.

Thank you to those parents, carers and friends who were able to attend this special assembly. As in past years, the wreaths and bouquets created by each of the grades have been taken to the Five Ways

memorial and laid alongside those of the wider community. Lest we forget.

************* Mothers’ Day Stall— The fund raising committee is active once

again this week by providing a wide range of gifts for our students

to purchase on Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th May in the school

foyer. Students can come along and view the terrific array of pre-

sents they may wish to buy for their mums this Mothers’ Day.

This week we all explored the wonderful

world of science. Each day we dove into a

new scientific experience. The kids love

trying the sherbet on their tongues, play-

ing with their slime and watching rockets

explode. The photos show Cai Qhery

measuring his sherbet and Charlotte and

Flynn mixing their slime. Above you can

see Chelsea working hard on creating her

pink play dough, which everyone enjoyed playing with!

Next week we are celebrating mother’s day!! We will be spending the week

becoming artists, with our art and craft gifts. We will also be running out Active

after school care focussing on tennis. Finally we can’t forget our cooking club!

This week we are making our own short bread.

So come along and join the FUN!!

As some of you may be aware, I am fundraising for this year’s MS Walk and Fun Run on Sunday June 1st at Albert Park Lake for either a 5km or 10km walk or run. Multiple Sclerosis is a degenerative disease of the cen-tral nervous system and affects people in different and life-altering ways.

I am seeking assistance from students and their families who might be interested in helping to fundraise with me and form a “Mrs LC” team or families who would just like to donate. Once registered with the link be-low, students with their families, may like to fundraise on my behalf and/or walk with me on the day.

I am happy to share my unfolding story with the school community and I would like to repay MS Australia for all of their support. Fundraising directly assists myself and others with MS, to manage symptoms (which are often invisible to others) so that I can continue to be a productive teacher, mother, wife and friend. My profile page can be accessed with the link below.
