Apple Stickers
Once again we are collecting Yummy Apple stickers to earn free sports gear for our school. By collecting Yummy cut-out labels from bags (each cut-out label is worth 10 stickers) and individual Yummy apple stickers our school will earn a share of the $200,000 free DGSport sports gear prize pool. Over the past two years, Waimauku School has earned well over $1000 worth of prizes so every sticker counts.
Yummy apples are available from New World, Pak'n Save and participating Four Square stores. The more we collect, the more sports gear we earn so encourage friends and family members to also start collecting Yummy cut-out labels and stickers now!
Pie Day
On 29 August the Year Book Committee is running a Pie Day fundraiser. Jesters Pies and sausage rolls are available for order on Kindo only.

We need classroom helpers on the Friday morning from 10:30 to help teachers arrange the student's work on the tables ( sorry you can't help in your own child's classroom), we also need assistance with scribing and handing out ribbons on the Saturday and someone to take some photos on both days.
