A great big THANK YOU to everyone who donated on Odd Shoe Day. We have connected with St Mary's Primary School in Gisborne and they are going to help distribute items to those who need them in their community. We raised $467 as well as many donations of cans, soups, noodles, breakfast cereal, baking goods, snacks, toiletries and nappies.

Coming up this term we have:

• Ice block Fridays: outside Room 6, Iceblocks $1.00, Juicies $1.50. If you are interested in helping to sell these on a Friday, please get in touch.

• Plastic Buckets: $2.00 each from the office

• Cookie Time Fundraiser: Forms will come home this week.

We are a small group and we really need new members to help us continue with our great work. You do not have to be involved in every meeting or event, just when your schedule allows would be greatly appreciated.

We would love to meet you! We hold two meetings each term, one in week 2 and one in week 7 at 7.00pm, some are held in person in the staff room and some are on zoom to accommodate all, these meetings go for around an hour. We discuss upcoming events and items that the school would love to bring to our Tamariki, to make their Silverdale experience the best we can, please consider joining us.
