Mango Fundraiser
The Winters Flat Primary School Mango Fundraiser is on again this year. Once again, we will be sourcing our mangoes direct from the grower in QLD, and having them delivered straight to our school as soon as the crop is ready. It doesn’t get much fresher than that!
The family that sells the most trays will receive a $100 book voucher.
Make sure you complete and return this form, together with payment, to Winters Flat Primary School office by Friday 30th October, 2020
Mangoes should be ready for collection from the school during the week commencing the 7th December, but we will confirm the arrival date in Flat Chat, email and via our social media sites.
NOTE: ORDERS MUST BE PAID FOR BEFORE DELIVERY.
