Fun Fair 2013 was a success!

The SKT School Council would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped make the 2013 Fun Fair such a success.  Even though we had to move indoors due to the rain, it was a wonderful event.

Thank you to all the parents, St. Matt's students, teachers for volunteering to help make it run so smoothly.  Thank you also to the Knights of Columbus from Good Shepherd Parish who barbecued in the rain for us.  The food was wonderful.  Thanks to all who donated food and books for our bake and book sales.

Thank you to all of the parents who donated items for our Basket Raffles.  This was another popular part of the event.  Congratulations to all of our winners: Tori (Car Wash #1), Christine S. (Car Wash #2), Lisa B. (Just for Mom), John C. (Baking), Adam E. (Gardening), Kobner Family (Canada Day), Angelica (Sports), Angela W. (Arts & Crafts), Anita D. (BBQ), and Tiriny (Birthday)!

Thank you to all of the participants in the "SKT's Got Talent" competition.  The judges (Mr. Gauthier, Mrs. Stern and Mrs. McGowan) had a tough job of determining the winners in our two categories: Little Rock Stars (JK to Gr. 3) and the Big Bands (Gr. 4-6) as all of the groups were very strong.  In the end, Julia M (Little Rock Stars) and The Dancing Devils - Ashley & Brianna (Big Bands) were chosen as the winners.  

The Art Show is another popular event within the Fun Fair.  We had a great number of entries and the judges chose the following entries as their favourites:

Sean S. (SK)
Anika H. (Gr. 3)

Angelica J. (Gr. 4)
 
Valerie (Gr. 5)
Thanks also to the Rogers Community Cruiser for coming out and providing Free Timbits and Tim Horton's coffee to us.  It was also quite fun to see Lionel from Boston Pizza, Batman and Rapunzel walking around our halls.



Finally a big thank you to all of the organizations who donated prizes for our Silent Auction.  Bidding was happening right until the close of the auction.

We hope that it won't rain next year, but we learned that we could have the Fun Fair indoors.  It was a tight squeeze, but a lot of fun :)

Fun Fair 2013: How do you win prizes?

Have you ever wondered how to win a prize at the Fun Fair?

Step 1: Get a Games Bracelet
Step 2: Play a Game
Step 3: You will receive a stamp depending on how well you play the Game
Step 4: Repeat Step 2 and 3 until you earn enough stamps for a prize.
Step 5: Trade in your stamps for a prize!

Prizes are traded for using the stamps on your fun fair stamp sheet. The number or stamps you have will de-termine the size of the prize you may claim. If you have 40 stamps you get a large prize, 20 stamps gets you a medium prize, 10 stamps gets you a small prize and less than that will get you a lollipop. Every time you turn in your stamps it will be marked on your bracelet what size of prize you earned. You may only claim 1 of each size of prize, that is 1 large, 1 medium and 1 small no matter how many stamps you have at the end of the night even if you turn in 3 x 40 stamps you are restrict-ed to receiving only one of each size of prize.
