The educators at the Gardens run workshops with the students and then

This is a fun obstacle course approx. 1-5 km. It is not a race so everyone goes at their own pace. I have sent in the
names of students who responded to last week’s newsletter. If you would like to go to this event, email
[email protected] or ring 021179245 or 2368384
The event is for children aged between 8 and 10
11 and 13
After the Fun Obstacle course there will be the school team event. Each school can enter only one team- 2 girls and
2 boys. We chose the oldest and first to express interest students for our school teamCrystal Pool Luke Anderson
Ashton Upfold
I have enquired if we can enter a second team, but the organisers won’t know this until closer to the day. BUT even
if you are not in the school team, you can do the FUN OBSTACLE EVENT.
MUFFIN SALES
Last year we won 1000 muffins to sell. We still have 238 muffins to collect. ( They are baked fresh)
However, the offer closes at the end of April, hence the quick order / delivery turn around.
We are aware there have been a lot of requests for money, but if you would like to order Muffin Break muffins for
$2-00 each ( about half price), please fill in your flavour choices below. I have been told by parents the muffins
do freeze well and would, therefore, be good for school lunches.
The money earned from the sales will be used to subsidise Ze Bong the Storyteller’s visit later in the year.
