Art Exhibition - Wine Tasting - Open Classroom Evening

KAURIHOHORE PARENT SUPPORT GROUP

The Parent Support Group will be selling Sileni Wines this term

as a fundraiser. Flyer with details has gone home tonight, if your

children are away on camp they will receive one when they get

back. We have this available to you at cheaper than the retail

price and an even more reduction in price if you purchase a case

(12 bottles). We will have tastings of these wines on offer at the art

evening to be held at school in the library on Tuesday 11th April from

6.00 – 7.30pm. Or if you are unable to make this day your order

form can be dropped into the school office.

A copy of the flier can be found by clicking on the newsletter tab at the top of this blog.

Also on this Night is the Art/Open Evening

On Tuesday 11th of April the Parents Support Group and school

are holding an art exhibition/open classroom evening. This will be

held outside of school hours to allow people to attend. It will run

between the times of 6pm-7.30pm. Each classroom will be open

with each child having artwork on display that can be purchased

and will then be framed (see attached poster). Teachers will also

be in their room to speak with you informally and you will be able

to have a look through books etc. This is a fundraiser to raise

money for the purchase of ICT equipment in the school. The

artwork will be high quality and well worth the purchase. Each piece of art will be $20.
You may come any time between 6pm-7.30pm to wander through. Art

extension students will also have artwork for sale in the library, this promises to be awesome.

Parent Information Hub

We are currently setting up a blog site designed to act as an information hub for parents.  We will be adding to this over time and would appreciate your ideas on what you would like to see on here.  The hub is intended as a site that you can go to for ideas and information on how you can help your child be successful at school and in life :)

Hub is located here.

If you have ideas on what you would like to see here, please email Leslee principal@kaurihohoreschool.co.nz
