WOO HOO! We got the grant!
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this, it was a great team effort, and
whilst I might have put it together I couldn’t have done it without everyone
who helped in every little or big way.
Cheers,
Renee

Dear Leon Bell and Renee Wierzbicki
Thank you for applying for a Playground to Plate grant for Thornbury Primary

Funds are to be fully expended and a report submitted by 5:00pm, Monday, 17

week, the grant amount of $5,000 (GST exclusive) will be transferred to the
school’s bank account nominated in your application. Please find attached
the recipient created tax invoice confirming the transfer – no action
required for the invoice.
If you’re not already a member of the Kitchen Garden Classroom, the first

Classroom membership includes access to the Shared Table, an online
community space with hundreds of downloadable resources; discounted

The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation will support you to make
the most of the grant so your kitchen garden program will be sustainable in

development, school- community engagement, and best-practice resources. Find

Program is delivered by Cancer Council Victoria, supported by the Victorian
