SPCA Market Day

Week 8 just gone was pet week. As part of their inquiry about the SPCA,  what they do, how they do it and how we can help support their efforts,  the students decided to fundraise for this amazing organisation to help save and protect animals. 

A market day was held at school with all proceeds going to the SPCA.  There was homemade baking, cinnamon scrolls, cup cakes, cakes, hot pancakes, fruit, lemonade and juicies to tempt all taste buds.  There was an amazing student band of Lucas, Amorangi, Nate and Dylan playing  to the crowds; Dylan an incredible artist sold his original drawings; Hannah-May, Mia and Molly were a spectacular dance group wowing the spectators and, as this was for SPCA, there were cat and dog chew/throw toys and an obstacle/agility course!  

Kaia made home made dog throw/chew toys from tennis balls donated by her tennis coach, Carl from Kerikeri tennis club and the rope part of the toy was made from donated merino jerseys from her dad!!  She pre sold the dog toys at the Kerikeri police station and many there donated very generously. Thanks to teachers, students and visitors who supported the event. We will be very happy to present the local SPCA with a donation of over $700, and amazing effort.
