Mothers Day is just around the corner, and to help celebrate, Parent Network is excited to once again host a Gift Stall in honour of Mother’s Day. Our aim is to offer students an opportunity to say ‘Thank You’ to the special people in their lives who care for them. The stall will be held Term 2, Week 2.

Event Details

All Woodend Classes are rostered to visit the Gift Stall with their class and teacher on one of the following days: Wednesday May 7th, Thursday May 8th or Friday May 9th.

Any students who are away for their class visit or wish to revisit the stall may do so at lunchtime on Friday May 9th. Unfortunately we cannot offer before or after school shopping at the stall due to access and minimal volunteers.

Gift Range

We have gathered a wonderful selection of gifts, all priced in whole dollar amounts between $1 and $15, perfect for showing appreciation to all the special women in our lives.

There are some Grandparent gifts and there are gifts not specific to Mother’s Day available for children who wish to buy for any special person who cares for them.

We ask that students bring along their own carry bag to take their Gift Stall purchase home – a reusable plastic or cloth shopping bag will work perfectly.

Payment

Your child can bring in any amount of money up to the value of $25. We suggest your child’s money be placed in an envelope or snap lock bag with their name and room number on it – especially lower primary students – to make it easier for them to find and keep safe.

Alternatively, payment can be made via the QKR app – all QKR payments must be in by End of Day on Monday May 5th. Students who pay via QKR will be given a voucher of that dollar amount to use at the gift stall. Please note that no change can be given for QKR payments and it is a $25 limit per student.
