Thank you Letter to South Pacific loans

South Pacific Loan has given skipping ropes and 6 flags, 2 with the name of our school and the other 4 were the names of the 4 houses at school so we wanted to thank them.

Dear South Pacific Loan

It was a real pleasure knowing that you guys were giving our school skipping ropes.  You also gave us flags  with the school name on it as well as the school houses.  We were very excited and we used the ropes to practise our routines for the Jump Rope Day.  We used the flag when we went out to Glen Innes Centre for our Jump Rope for Heart.  That helps the people there to know who we are.  Thank you very much for everything you have done for us. We really want you to know that your generosity is greatly appreciated. We are looking forward for your continuous support towards our school in the coming years.

Love
