Win! Movie tickets for your helper
Last year a community initiative kick-started in Discovery Bay that recognises May

pre-schools and will pop up in more schools this year.

is taking part in Helper
Appreciation Month and we're giving away double movie tickets to three lucky
helpers. Why not nominate your helper by emailing us a photo of them with your loved
ones? (Please also include ONE sentence that sums up what you appreciate about
your helper.) We will post a selection to our Facebook page so be sure to check out the
page to see yours. Please email your photos to
