Our first meeting was held this week to discuss goals and share ideas on how we can support and raise funds for people in need. We welcomed a few new members and it was wonderful to see so many boys and girls returning from last year wanting to continue their good works into 2020. Our next Free Dress Day is Monday, 6th April. As it falls on the same day as the Hat Parade the theme will be Easter! The children decided that the money raised from the gold coin donations will be given to the Bush Fire Recovery Fund. Please read some of the responses from the children when asked the question,
