WANAKA PRESCHOOL SUSTAINABLE GALA BENEFITING TAMARIKI IMPACTED BY THE CYCLONE

Submitted by: Lo Stevenson

In 2021 Wanaka Preschool achieved the Green/ Gold Enviroschool recognition. In celebration we held a Sustainable Gala, this was so successful that it was decided to hold it every year. Covid didn’t allow that but now we are back and it will be better than ever. One change is that following the devastating floods of cyclone Gabrielle we have decided to split any profits and support a children’s charity, or a badly affected non-profit early childhood centre. We will be announcing the specifics soon.

As a community based non-profit centre, we would like to seize the opportunity to help our tamariki learn about being charitable and helping out others in need. There will be the opportunity to donate directly to this charity at the event, or just come along and enjoy the fun. A taste of some of the stalls on offer:

Saturday, 25 March. 10.00am - 2.00pm 106 Tenby Street, Wanaka

•Preserves and goodies made from the Preschool orchard and gardens

•Boutique preloved clothing and shoes

•Garden plants, indoor plants and flowers

•Face painting

•Construction table and craft activities

•Bouncy castle

•Books

If you are keen to help us out we can use jars, herbs to dry, lavender to make rub, books, spray free fruit or veggies, anything at all for a white elephant stall, donations for raffles and most of all your presence on Saturday, 25 March. 106 Tenby Street from 10.00am - 2.00pm.
