Ms Kenney's November 8 Newsletter!
Dear Swift Families,
We hope you enjoy the long weekend and take a moment on Monday to remember those who allow us the freedom we have today.
School Photo Ordering – Christmas Deadline November 15
School photo proofs are ready for viewing online. Please enter your email address and password as listed on your child’s photo card. The password is your child’s pupil number. Orders placed before November 15th will be delivered before Christmas. Orders placed after this time will not be guaranteed to arrive in time for the holidays. Any questions you might have about photos should be directed to hello@paramountportraits.com
Cuddle Up and Read
Mrs. Thurmer is looking for parents or grandparents who would like to “cuddle up and read” with students. This is an opportunity to support some of our kids who need a little boost in reading or just some extra time supporting their reading development. If you are interested in helping, and have a completed Criminal Record Check, please email Mrs. Thurmer.
PAC News
Christmas Fun Day is on December 6th! To make this day a success we need your help! If you are able to volunteer, please signup at this link. Christmas Fun Day is a highlight for all the students each year, and we appreciate your support!
For those unable to help that day, we are also looking for some donations: Red tissue paper, Toilet Paper Rolls (approx. 40), Halloween Candy (we need a lot!), Holiday Wrapping Paper, Gift Tags, Scotch Tape, Gift Tags, White Sugar (4x2.5kg bags), Icing (see this link), Smarties. We are also hoping to borrow some Heat Guns. Please drop off donations at the office.
Information about Christmas Raffle Baskets has been sent home. Tickets to win these amazing baskets will be available December 2nd. Historically each of the 7 baskets are valued at $250 - $500! Please send items and/or monetary contributions to your child's classroom teacher.

Rainy Days and Extra Clothes
Fall days are here which means the weather is going to inevitably be wet. Please send your kids to school ready to be outside for recess and lunch – we go out in all weather conditions unless it is incredibly stormy! It is always a good idea to have an extra pair of socks and pants in backpacks – wet feet and wet pants aren’t a lot of fun. While we have some extras at school, we save them for those unexpected bathroom accidents, not puddle fun!
School Cash Account, Field Trips and Volunteering
Please be sure to set up your School Cash account. Each child needs to be added to your account. All school-based payments are made here, and all permission forms will be completed here as well. If you haven’t yet set up your account or need a refresher, information is on the website.
There are already field trips coming up! Please check your school cash account to pay and give permission. If there are any financial concerns, please connect with Ms. Kenney, and we are happy to help cover the cost of field trips where needed.
