Dear Herbert Spencer School Community!
The Christmas Craft Fair was a HUGE success. So great to see the community come out and enjoy some festive cheer and help raise funds for our school community. This year set a new record!
A huge thanks to all the volunteers that made this event possible and particularly our amazing Christmas Craft Coordinators – Mavra, Shawna and Robyn. Way to Go!
