Jarvisfield State School hosted a Christmas Fete last Saturday, November 11, the first big event held by the newly reinvigorated P&C in many, many years.
“Our school community is extremely proud of the event that was held on the weekend,” said Jarvisfield State School Principal Lisa Bello.
“Without the help from sponsors, the school community, volunteers and staff, this event would not have been possible.”
Attendees enjoyed perusing market stalls, meeting with emergency services, petting the animals, sliding down the slide and getting their faces painted.
The school also received donated produce which almost all sold out.
Staff, students and parents contributed by helping to run student created stalls including face painting, bottle stall, bake stall, footy toss, hundreds board, raffles and much, much more.
“Santa photos were a real hit with families lining up out the door to meet the jolly fellow and many a Christmas wish was whispered in his ear,” Ms Bello said.
“Since the weekend, staff have received nothing but positive accolades about our school and our wonderful fete.
“Thank you to the local community for supporting our small and wonderful school.
“The P&C are eager to make next year's fete even bigger and better.”
