As part of the upcoming Book Fair in Week 6 of this term our SRC are having a Book Character Day. This will be next Tuesday 25th May 2010. The SRC is inviting all students K-6 to come to school dressed as their favourite character from a book. Children who come to school dressed as a book character are asked to bring a gold coin donation for the SRC. At 9 am the primary students will parade in the morning assembly area whilst Mr Willoughby will judge the best dressed character for each grade. There will be two prizes for each grade level. At 9am the infants students will parade on their morning circle and a prize will be awarded to the best

character from each class. So start thinking about who you are going to dress up as.

Can you be as imaginative as this member of our staff???
