Litter free lunch boxes competition

Arahoe School cares for the environment. We want to reduce the amount

of rubbish we send to the landfill.

You can help us…

BE LITTER FREE!

Make your lunch-box free of gladwrap and

plastic wrappers as these are non-recyclable.  Instead, put food such as yoghurt, chips

and biscuits into reusable containers.

Arahoe Primary School is becoming Waste Wise. Part of becoming waste wise is learning how to eliminate our lunch rubbish each day. For four weeks there is a whole school litter free lunchbox competition. Each student in every class needs to try and bring their lunch to school using more sustainable ways and eliminate the use of lunch wrapping such as gladwrap. Each day the class counts how many students lunchboxes are litter free and records it on the calendar, the results can also be graphed on a wall display. The class with the MOST litter free lunches over a four week period wins.

 The prize up for grabs is a litter free picnic at the mystery location for the whole class and also getting to choose and plant the centerpiece tree for the school vegetable garden.

We had lots of fun learning a song and dance too.

Spring Fair- Room 14's Stall

Hi Parents/Caregivers,

As you know we have the Spring Fair on Saturday 1st November 11.00am until 3.00pm.

Room 14 will be running a 'Bottle Bank' stall.  It's like a lucky dip type activity. We will have bottles donated and assigned to a number. People will roll a dice and, whatever the dice lands on they will win the bottle assigned to that number. For example a bottle of wine. Each number will have a different price to pay depending on what bottle has been associated to it.

What we need help with:

1) Parents volunteering to help on the day- could you please let me know if you are available to do this. You can email me at samanthas@arahoe.school.nz

2) Bottles to be donated to our stall. Bottles could include: A nice bottle of perfume, bottles of nice oils- cooking or massage, bottles of wine or bottles of gourmet sauces for cooking.

If you have any questions, queries or suggestions- please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks 

Samantha
