Spring Fair Postponement
Our school PTA met earlier this week and it is with much regret we collectively decided this year’s Spring Fair needs to be postponed as it requires Level 1 conditions to be able to proceed.
There are already too many events in the Term 4 2021 and Term 1 2022 school calendar to re-schedule for then, so we felt it was prudent to just push it out one full year.
Therefore, the new date is September 24th 2022. Thank you to all those who had offered your support by way of hands-on help and sponsorship.
Garage Sale
Saturday 25th September Monster School GARAGE SALE. One event we can run as an alternative to the school fair is a Garage Sale. This will be held on the same date as scheduled and operate under Level 2 restrictions.
Please bring items to the PAC from Monday 20th. If you are able to help with setting up on Friday 24th September please email Merynn.
Good George Online Offer
Beginning September 17th those of you who place online orders from Good George Brewing, use the code PUKETAHA to get 10% from your order, and the school benefits as well. Thank you Good George for including us in this promotion.
Scrap Metal Drive
We have set aside two dates in November for our inaugural Puketaha School Scrap Metal Drive. These are Saturday November 6th and November 13th. This can proceed in Level 2. The plan is to have a dedicated email address and text line for those of you who have scrap metal you would like collected from your property, plus roadside collections from surrounding properties on roads around the school. There will be a leaflet drop to those properties where this can happen, else there will be information put out via the next school newsletter regarding the contact information for this fundraiser.
This is seen as a win/win event for our community so spread the word among your friends and neighbours. The focus of this year’s fundraising is the new proposed Learning Through Play area plus contributions towards school camps.
