A huge thank you to all the dads and their friends who entered the Puketaha PTA Golf Day last Sunday. (Plus the three females who entered!) We were lucky with the weather that it didn’t ruin the day and we were safely back in the Clubhouse when the rain got a lot more “steady.” Steve Parkes & KJ lead the winning team and we hope to see their team back next year to defend their title. We had some fabulous auctions donated by Kate Rawnsley & The Gallagher Chiefs,Karl Johnson and the Horsham Downs Club which helped tremendously with the profitability of the day. It very much helped when we had a husband and wife bidding against each other for the same auction item! Once again thanks to Good George, Kukri, Sculpture Hospitality, Power Farming Morrinsville, Prolorus, KPMG, Waikato Pumps, Steve & Simone Parkes from Lodge Real Estate, Ingham Automotive & Superior Pet Foods Paeroa for your sponsorship.
Attached is our notice about the Scrap Metal day. We hope the Puketaha Community gets in behind this event as they did last year. It is a good opportunity to have a clear out of all things metal (refer notice for acceptable items) and the school benefits as well. Please spread the word if you are able. If the bin is full please just leave any scrap beside the bin as a truck will come to pick up any overflow on Monday morning.
We will be having a Samosa fundraiser instead of pies this year in time for winter. They are tasty and so handy to have in the freezer when you want something quick and yummy that you just have to heat up. So watch out for that order form coming out soon.
There are two cross country events happening this term. Our school one, and the EWCS one where Puketaha has a stall at Porritt Stadium. If you would like to help out with these please events make yourself known to me, or please make contact so I can add you to our PTA WhatsApp group. This is such a handy way of catching up with a lot of people easily. No pressure to help out every time, but hopefully there will be an occasion where you could help at an event if you are able.
Just a reminder new members are always welcome to PTA meetings. We only have two meetings a term so it isn’t a huge commitment. It is a great way to hear what is happening behind the scenes around the place, and how we can help to achieve the school’s aspirational goals. Next meeting week 7, June 6th 7.30pm.
Kind regards,
