Fete Cake Stall thank you

Bakers Gonna Bake!  Thank you everyone who contributed to the Cake Stall.  We were so happy to receive such a wide variety of lovely goodies to sell on Fete day.  Our customers were very happy to buy them too!  This stall relies on the school community to donate and you have stepped up again.  Thank you again to Andrea Sotiriou for creating and donating those two exquisite cakes for us to raffle.  We had two very happy winners.  Thanks again everyone from the Cake Stall team - Lorien, Ann and Sunny.

The main areas are located under the stairs in the Admin Building and in the lower level of the Gr 1 Building, with smaller Lost Property areas also located within the Resource Centre (Library) and YOSHC.
