Dig deep or donate-some more infomation.

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

The posters are up for Dig Deep or Donate Arahoe Primary Schools very first Arbour Day event and here is some more information.

Arahoe Arbour Day

In June it is national arbour day, a day to inspire people to nurture the environment and plant native trees. In recognition of this we will be planting native trees into the banks surrounding the school fields.

What is Dig Deep or Donate?

The term Dig Deep means dig a deep hole in the school bank, donate is giving you the option as a parent to donate your very own native tree to plant on the school bank.

Arahoe Primary has been donated 50 native trees for Arbour Day, we need your help along with your child/children to dig the trees into the school bank. Bring along your spade at 9am on the 19^th of June on the school field to help us plant the trees.

Due to only having 50 native trees that have been donated please let Dana Turner danat@arahoe.school.nz know if you would like to come and dig a tree in. Alternatively you can bring along your own native tree to dig into the school bank, every donated or dug in tree will receive an eco-name tag. The trees we would like to be donated are Kanuka, Karaka, Kowhai, Lacebark, Pittosporum or Pohutakawa.

Who: You and your children and two local New Zealand comedians Dai Henwood and Uzila Carlson will be joining us for the event.

When: 19^th of June 9am School Field – after the roll has been called, come on down with your child

What: bring your children, gumboots and spade and a few coins as PSG will be there selling eco friendly cakes, biscuits, tea, milo and coffee.
