PET DAY REMINDER

IMPORTANT PET DAY INFORMATION

Kia ora e te whānau

With pet day just around the corner, the following is important information about the day:

  1. Students who have entered a pet will have been given a “Pet Diary” to complete over the holidays.  This is a great way to record all the details about your pet and is a great keepsake.  The diaries will need to be returned to school by 3pm Tuesday 13th October to be included for judging.
  2. BAKE STALL: We would like to ask if each family could please donate an item of baking for the bake sale (cakes/bicuits/fudge/muffins/etc).  A plate will come home with your child/ren on Monday 12th October for each family to send baking back to school on.  You can use the plate provided or supply your own, but please do not send a plate/container that you would like returned as the baking items will be sold. Any contribution is very much appreciated. Thank you.  Could we please have all bake sale items at school on the Tuesday afternoon before Pet Day or the morning of Pet Day – Wednesday 14th October.
  3. RAFFLE DONATIONS:  we would like to ask if each family could please donate a scratchie for the scratchie raffle or/and a bottle for the “Mystery Bottle Raffle”. Please drop at the school office.
