First of all,  thank you to all those who contributed to the Try-Challenge food stall, whether it was by donating some baking, helping sell the goods or by being a customer on the day.  It was well supported by all and we really appreciated everyone’s involvement.

Secondly , there is a lot of anticipation in the air around our inaugural Colour Fun Run which is to be held on March 30^th. We have been blown away by the support we have received so far and the kindness shown by our school community by way of sponsorship for the students who have signed up.   We really want as many kids to sign up as possible and get them engaged in this event.  The PTA operates as a Charity so every donation over $5 qualifies for a 33% rebate.  All funds we raise get channelled back into the school and help pay for new technology resources, cultural experiences, subsidised school camps, outdoor learning spaces etc..

A big thank you to our Colour Station Sponsors : Orange- Vibe Group; Green - Neverman Bennett Lawyers; Red - Hamilton Fencing; Blue-Blue Wallace Surveyors; Pink - Pool Clean;  Purple - Safeguard Self Storage; Yellow : Lawn Solutions.  These companies have covered the cost of the paint required for the day.

Please reach out if you would like your name and number to be added our WhatsApp group.  This is a great way for us to keep in touch when we need reminders sent out about an event, or if we need extra helpers for a specific task.  We realise people are busy and can’t help at each event, but it is great to have a group we can call upon and if they are available will help.  

Also there is a special offer of a 20% discount from the website www.schoolfundraisingshop.co.nz when you use the code SchoolShop20 for the rest of the month of March. Please state Puketaha School when you purchase your goods and our school receives a 10% rebate .

Kind regards,

Merynn Connors
