Sustainable night markets

Mount Aspiring College —

Our Year 8 students will be holding a sustainable night market on Tuesday 1 December, from 4.30 - 6.30 pm Save the date!

For Term 4, we have been focusing on consumers and producers and their subsequent rights. This will culminate in students creating their own businesses and products or experiences that will be available to you at this Night Market. There is an emphasis that all products and experiences will be created with sustainability in mind. Half the proceeds from the evening will go to a local charity - to be decided by the students. Last year we raised over $2000 for Food For Love! 

Please see some of the ads below:

Hi Wanaka, we are selling Alpine Summer Cordial at the year 8 Christmas Night Market on 1st of December 4.30 to 6.30pm at the college.

For only $7 per 300mls and/or a cup for $2, you won’t find a better price. Our cordial is a perfect present for Christmas, so don’t hang about, come see us on the trade day to buy our Alpine Summer Cordial.

CHRISTMAS DECOR

Having trouble finding the right present for your relatives? We have just the thing for you. We are selling recycled products perfect to decorate your trees and give to your relatives.

We are selling all sorts of Christmas gifts and decorations. We have a variety from mini santa's to Christmas cards.

Please come on Tuesday 1 December and support our store.

Our store is all about Christmas, since Christmas is coming near we decided to make a store all Christmas related.

Pricing our products didn't take as long as I had thought. We had to think about what's fair and what will raise money for the charity. So we chose ones that took the most time and effort to make and made them the most expensive to the least amount of time and effort as the lowest expense.

Our products are Christmas themed, so we came up with a few ideas. We have mini santa Christmas tree decorations made out of toilet paper cones We painted and decorated to look like Santa, some beautifully decorated Christmas cards and recipe Christmas jars with delicious Christmas baking recipes, we also have Christmas jars with gluten free recipe options so no one misses out.

HAPPY BAGS

"Dear Mount Aspiring Collage family,

My name is Mia Cohen and I am writing to inform you that the Mount Aspiring College Year 8’s will be holding an ECO-friendly sustainable night market on the 1st of December from 4.30 - 6.30 pm (with a soft close) in the Science Block. The entire year group has worked hard to be able to provide innovative products! Half of our proceeds will be going to a local charity.

Part of being an ECO-friendly enterprise means our advertising also needs to be environmentally friendly. So my team and I are asking you if you're happy to help advertise our market day in your newsletters and assemblies.

Our market day will be full of fun activities, quirky products, and more! So, come one come all! Parents/Caregivers - Siblings - Grandparents - etc.

As an example, we are The Happy Bags. The Happy Bags are reusable fruit / veggie produce bags made out of recycled and / or repurposed materials.

It would mean the world if you could consider our offer, and help us advertise this event and our product. Supporting local businesses!

Kind regards Mia Cohen (Marketing Manager of the Happy Bags),

And The Happy Bag's Team,

For further information please contact me at cohenm@mtaspiring.school.nz "
