I&E CARNIVAL, 21 MAY 2011 (SATURDAY)

The I&E Carnival coupons have been given out today. Each pupil in the school is given 5 sheets of $10 each. SHPS will need everyone's help to sell these coupons to raise funds for the school, so try your best.

Example #1
You want 1 sheet of coupons for yourself so you pay $10.
You sell the other 4 sheets to friends/neighbours and collect $40.
You have to return $50 to the school.

Example #2
You want all 5 sheets of coupons for yourself and family so you pay $50.
You have to return $50 to the school.

Example #3
You want 2 sheets of coupons for yourself so you pay $20.
You try your best but cannot sell the other 3 sheets.
You have to return $20 and the unsold 3 sheets to the school.

Please keep the coupons in a safe place to avoid losing them. You have to pay for them if you lose them.

The I&E Carnival is more than a month's time away, on 21 May (Saturday). Please plan ahead so that you can be available on that day.

Collection of used toys, books, etc, begins this week as we need these as prizes for the game stall. Clean and wrap them up. Label them also so that we know how to allocate these prizes.
