Please extend out grateful thanks to all the wonderful students who dressed up on the day and to all who helped in any way towards making this donation possible.” Our overall winners were David in Mrs. Cleary’s 1st class as Paddington Bear and special runner-up was Katelyn in Ms. O’ Brien’s 2nd class. Well done!
