We had some wonderful helpers supporting our SSG at school today. Lots of strawberries were potted up for the plant sale coming up in October.

SSG are doing another seed planting day on Thursday 13th August from 1:00pm and they are looking for as many hands as possible. The more adults that can pop down to school and help, the better - any help is appreciated.
