Friends of Coastal Taranaki School

Those who have Yummy Apple stickers ready to be brought back to school, please hand into your teachers and check out yummyfruit.co.nz. We need to have entries in by September 24.  Hopefully, we will be able to get some nice new sports gear for the classrooms.

A big thanks to farmers for their support again this year with bobby calves, so far we have made around $250. Phone book deliveries should all just about be finished by now. A huge thanks to our families who do a run every year and to our new families who have picked one up for the first time. We hope it all went well; I know my kids love hanging out the window dropping them off. We raise around $2,300 through this fundraiser.

Thanks once again to Steve Gibson and his family for the many hours spent in the last month at school with the playground and also the delivery of the sand. Thanks to Andrew Hooker for the use of his tractor and all the other people who help get the playground up and running.  Also thanks to Winstones who donated the sand to the school, so if you are in there please make sure you thank them for it.

Have your say on how you would like to see fundraised money benefit your children, come to one of your meetings, it’s a great way to meet new families.

Our next meeting will be September 16 at 7.30 in the staff room.  Everyone’s welcome.
