Another warm day in Melbourne today and our children are staying cool indoors.

Nadia has prepared some delicious fruit smoothies for afternoon tea with mango, strawberry and blueberries - YUM!

Stay cool and take care ☀️❄️

📚Our children love their excursions to Glenroy Library & Community Hub during the school term — story time is always a hit!
Good news: Merri-bek has shared their Christmas break opening hours, so you can still pop in, curl up with a story, and borrow a book (or two… or three 😉) over the holidays 🎄📖

Have you seen our Lending Library? 📚
I took a walk down to Salvos Glenroy and picked up an amazing range of pre-loved stories for our children to enjoy.

Nido Glenroy Families are welcome to take a book home, share it together, and return it when you’re ready — or swap it for another favourite. A little love for books, reuse, and our local community 💛

Bow ties… but make it Christmas! 🎄✨
Festive vibes are in full swing at Nido Glenroy — our team is rocking their Christmas bow ties like Rudolph on a mission! 🎅🤶🎁
AND children wanted to add their own Christmas tree for the season and by jolly they look lovely!🎄
Ho! Ho! Ho!

What a fun and heartwarming week it has been. A big thank you to all our wonderful families, children, and educators who wore their cosiest pyjamas to help us support The Pyjama Foundation.

It was so lovely to see everyone, embracing the spirit of the week in their favourite PJs. Thanks to your generosity, we raised a total of $258. We collected $68.35 in gold coin donations, which we added to our online fundraising page so that all funds went directly to the cause.

Your support will help provide learning and mentoring opportunities to children in foster care, a cause close to all our hearts.

If you missed the chance to donate or would like to see our final fundraising total, please follow the link below:

Thank you again for your kindness, enthusiasm, and continued support.

A few months ago, the children planted their very own strawberry plant, and today they were thrilled to discover a tiny strawberry beginning to grow.

Moments like this remind us of the beauty of patience, care, and curiosity. Through hands-on experiences like gardening, children develop an understanding of the world around them while building responsibility and a sense of pride in their efforts

We’re wearing our comfiest PJs all week to support National Pyjama Day, raising awareness and funds to help children in foster care.

🍪 We’re also baking up something sweet. Grab a cookie and pop a gold coin in the jar to support this wonderful cause.

Can’t make it in? You can also donate online via the link https://fundraise.thepyjamafoundation.com/fundraisers/NidoGlenroy

Let’s make a difference together.

Nido Early School Glenroy This National Pyjama Day, I'm raising funds to support children in foster care to reach their dreams through learning and life-changing mentorship.
