In March 2012, Epping Joeys will participate in programmes that focus on caring and sharing including  a special deed for the community.   Our special deed was to clean up rubbish around the scout hall area that we play in as part of Clean Up Australia.  Some Joeys also help prepare their school's veggie garden for winter.

During the week of 26-30 March, Joeys will participate in a special job week during which they show how they care and share by doing certain jobs or activities. A job card has been attached for your Joey to complete. Please return this card to the Monday 2 April meeting.
