 .Fatima N.S.Christmas Cards

The children’s Christmas Cards have all been circulated and I think everyone will agree they turned out beautifully. The children are justifiably proud of their work. We ordered a number of extra sets which we re-packaged with 10 individual designs per packs. These are for sale in O’Higgins and Doherty’s if any of your families or neighbours are interested. 30c from each card sold goes to school funds so please support us!
