Apr 5 parade - Food Drive

Dear girls,

We will be going for a food delivery to bless the residents of low-income families come Apr 5, Saturday. 

Here are the details for the day:

Reporting time: 8am @ Meeting point
Dismissal Time: 1030am @ Meeting point
Attire: GB Polo-T shirt and school shirt
--> If you want to bring a small bag, please keep it light as the food package may be rather heavy for some of you.


There are 2 ways in which I would like all of you to prepare for the trip:


1) Bring some food items! I would like all girls to bring THREE food items for donation that day. 

(In the consent form sent out earlier, some of you have indicated that your family members would like to join in. If you have family members coming, I would like to appeal for your family to bring 3 items per member coming.)

Please ensure that the items you bring have the Halal logo on it as some of the family units we are visiting are Muslim families.

These are some items you can bring. Please ensure that all food items have an expiry date of at least year 2015

Canned Food  :  Baked Beans, Mushrooms, Curry Chicken, Braised Peanuts, Sardines

Other items     :  Bee Hoon, Instant Noodles, Biscuits, Instant Coffee, Milo 


2) Learn how to say the following greetings in English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil and your family's dialect (ask your parents or grandparents for help. You will be surprised at what they know) =)  

This is so that when we visit some of the residents who do not speak English, you will be prepared with some simple phrases!

- Good morning
- Have a nice day
- Good bye

Looking forward to seeing you on Apr 5!
