Kauri Syndicate - Woodstock School Gala 2015

Dear Whanau/Caregivers,

As you will be aware, our school’s PTA Gala is to be held in Term 4 on Saturday 31^st October.  This is a major fundraising event for this year and will bring the community together for a fun day of celebration.

Each syndicate is responsible for co-ordinating and running stalls on the day.

Kauri Team (Rooms 5, 6, 10 and 11) have the following stalls:

1.  Selling ‘Used Sports Gear’

2. ‘Mystery Jars’ - this involves attempting to throw quoits over brightly decorated jars.  If you get the quoit over the jar, you win the jar and the prize inside.

We have a couple of requests leading up to our big day.

1.     Clean jars with lids – for the ‘Mystery Jar Stall’, we will be collecting clean jars with lids, to decorate in our classrooms during week 10 of this term.  We ask that each child brings along a clean, dry jar to add to our collection.  (eg. pasta sauce jars).  We would like the jars to be brought to school by Friday 18^th September – Week 9, so we can decorate them the following week.

2.     Volunteers to help on the KAURI TEAM stalls – we require a number of parents from Rooms 5, 6, 10 and 11 to help us ‘man’ our stalls on the day.  This would require a small amount of time during the day of the gala, standing at the stall, helping to either sell the sports gear or manage the ‘Mystery Jar Stall’.  It can be as little as ½ an hour.  If you are able to do this, please fill in the form below and return it to the classroom teacher as soon as possible so we can compile a roster.  We are unable to allocate specific times or which stall you will be on until we get enough volunteers.  The more volunteers we get the better J

The classroom teachers will be busy on some specific teacher stalls e.g. ‘Dunk the Teacher’ or ‘Tape the Teacher’, so will be unavailable to be on the Kauri Team Stalls.  For this reason, we really do need your help.

3.     2^nd Hand Sports Gear

There will be opportunities over the next few weeks to start collecting your unwanted treasures together, for the school to sell in various stalls.  Our ‘2^nd Hand Sports Gear Stall’ is one of these.  So start spring cleaning early and get together your pre-loved sports gear.  We will let you know when to start bringing it to school.  (Early term 4)

We are very excited to be having an active role in the PTA Gala.  Thank you for your support.  ‘Many hands make light work’.
