celebrate their birthday with us!
Children

parents may send in a cake and some treats if they wish.
All
baked goods must be shop bought and unopened in the original packaging due to
haacp guidelines. Also, please do not send in hard sweets or nuts that children
could easily choke on. Thank you for your cooperation on this topic.

with further information on how to be a part of this worthy cause. These
letters will also be up on our doors for all to see. Parents are under no
obligation to participate in this appeal If however you are in a position to
participate, we greatly appreciate your generosity in brightening up another
family’s Christmas.
