The next event, was Cook Up Kindness Day, which was held today. It was an initiative coordinated and lead by our amazing, and dedicated FIAT leaders (Mrs Park and Mrs Hyson).
The focus was centred around the importance of how food can nourish the body🙏, heart 💓 and soul 😇, as NOTHING says “we care” more than a warm meal. However, for over 127,000 Australians, this is a luxury they cannot always afford.
Therefore, the St Andrew's staff were invited to join the...
"👩🍳Cook Up Kindness Day👩🍳", by preparing a favourite dish, such as soups, pastas, curries, slices, sweet treats… anything that we loved to make! 🥘🍰
👉 This challenge was taken up by so many!!! where delectable desserts, warm meals, yummy snacks and treats were brought into the staffroom to make a banquet spread of; compassion and love.
👉 At recess and lunch, the Cook Up Kindness Food Stall was opened for all staff to enjoy delicious food as a work meal, or to take home, as dinner for their family. This generosity of food was matched by making a donation.
👉 All funds raised will go directly to Vinnies, supporting those doing it tough.
Needless to say the initiative was a HUGE success, with many smiles, laughter and full stomachs, too!😆 Together, we not only raised money to support our school's long-standing partnership with the St Vincent de Paul Society, but to also share kindness and hope through the joy of food! 💕
