Weekend/Holiday/Christmas Babysitter
My name is Maria Wright. I have been working at Rosemead for 13 years as a dinner supervisor and playground assistant and know all the children well.
I am available to babysit on a Friday or Saturday evening at your home. I am also available on week days during the school holidays. I also provide term time collection after school.
Have you done all your Christmas shopping? Do you want to be child free when you go shopping? Is your work Christmas Party coming up? If you have any dates in the weeks to come and need a babysitter I am taking bookings now. Please call me to book so as to avoid disappointment.

Clubs Update

Parents and children are reminded that the majority of clubs and groups have now finished for this term. Leaders of those continuing for an additional week will have spoken to the children involved.
For those who were not present at this morning's Student Council meeting, please note that the final meeting for this term will be next Friday, 11th December (8.20am). The Student Council has matters to discuss for next term - and there may be a surprise from them at the end of this term too!
Staff offering places for clubs for next term will be letting the children know during the first week back after the holiday.
Winter Warmers
4 Dec 2009 2:20PM

With the weather having taken a turn for the worse, please make sure your child has the appropriate outer clothing for school: on wet days, they need their waterproof Rosemead jackets over their blazers or coats; on cold days, they need their heavy school coats, Rosemead hat, scarf and gloves. The playground is a very miserable place if you are not warm enough...
Thank you
