Hi All,

There is a bit more to cover today as my last spiel never got sent out due to fire upheaval of a fortnight ago.

The PTA want to acknowledge how awesome Nyree and the Puketaha Staff handled this major event. The communication was top rate and they quickly became part of the solution to an unforeseen problem.

Big thanks to Caitlyn Cameron for quickly putting together our Christmas Catalogue. Last day for some of the orders is tomorrow so please have another flick through to see if we can’t tempt you! The aim was to get some companies who were happy to support the school by offering a discount to you the purchaser and the School will also receive a percentage of the sale price. Hopefully there is something within it than can help prepare you for Christmas. The Booster Wines offer was extended to November 22^nd plus the Puketaha10 discount code from Trading Pieces (Knives) offer has been extended to the end of November. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kb1jToqWq86LKqvA3IMY0ZFID35wwvUo/view?usp=sharing

At our last PTA meeting our Treasurer Sharyn Harrison delivered the final numbers for money raised at the Spring Fair and after all expenses we did top the $23,000 mark. So thank you everyone for you collective efforts.  We budgeted to make donations to the School of $35,000 for this financial year and we definitely have the funds to make this happen.

Big thanks to those who helped with our stall at the Senior Athletics Day. Whether it was by providing some baked goods, manning the stall or barbeque, or buying some of the wares (we sold out- it was amazing!), I really appreciate your support.

Kind regards,

Merynn Connors
