Hi Parents and caregivers,

 

Thank you to the 2 parents who have offered baking for the pop up cafe at the school disco, we really appreciate you!

Unfortunately this is not enough baking to cover both discos for a bake sale and we would love some extra help.

Cupcakes, bikkies and slices always sell well and we are happy to sell pre made goods if you are short on time.

All proceeds from the disco are going towards enhancing play spaces and much needed STEAM equipment.(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics)
 

Please email Sarah at the office or the fundraising team fundraising@waitoki.school.nz if you are able to help, or bring your baked goods along to the school hall on friday at drop off or pick up.

Thank you so much, as they say many hands make light work! 

Kindest  regards

The fundraising team :)
