Spring Fair

Some very excited children are counting down to this weekend’s big event and planning in what order they are checking out events/stalls. I hope the weather gods are kind to us!! Bring a jacket, regardless!

Just a few reminders, please drop off goods for the garage sale by 9 am Friday to allow time for sorting and pricing. Plus, there is a Friday afternoon garage sale pre-sale for Puketaha School parents/caregivers/teachers only from 2.30 pm-4 pm. This gives those busy on stalls on Saturday, and our community has to first look over donated goods. We will be selling tickets for the activity events at the fair to streamline cash handling. One ticket = $2; bundle deals are available Friday at the garage sale pre-sale (plus again on Saturday) $20 buys 12 tickets, $50 buys 30 tickets. EFTPOS is available for ticket sales. Bring cash for a garage sale. Please check out our Spring Fair map for clarification.

Baking can be dropped into Kaakano 2 on Friday or Saturday morning (Set up-time for this stall is 9-10 am). Please package it appropriately for sale. Please clearly label any Gluten Free or Dairy Free items.

As for plants, these can be dropped off Friday afternoon and left undercover outside the school office or dropped off on Saturday morning in their set-up time between 9 am-10 am (Down by the Big Kids Playground.) Again, please label clearly if you can.

Thank you so much to those who have signed up to help with the various stalls. If you have committed to support, be prepared to do your stint as others may have to be elsewhere. Also, if you see a stall struggling to keep up and have some free time, please offer to help. Thanks to all the Year 7/8s who are providing significant help this year. Your involvement is critical to this event’s success.

Funds raised from this event have been earmarked for new stage lighting in the PAC, plus enhancements to outdoor learning spaces.

Plus, thank you to all the sponsors, the companies who have donated goods, and the PTA for all chipping in to make this day happen.

Ngaa mihi Nui,
