| Zhenghua Openhouse 2008 |
| This year's Openhouse is slightly different from the past. It's more like a carnival style. Girl Guides will be setting up the "Picture Perfect" booth, something we have done in our own Guides Carnival at @scape Park.
I heard that not many of our Guides have indicated their commitment for these two days, please do so cos' we must all play a part in helping to promote our school.
So can I have more response from all of you? Thanks.
