Get to the Point

End of Year Trophies

Senior Citizens Performance and Afternoon Tea

On Monday the 4th of November a group of students are

heading to the Bowling Club to perform for the Pleasant Point

Senior Citizens Friendship Group. As a part of this

performance we are preparing afternoon tea for the group and

would appreciate some help with this. The afternoon tea is at

1.45pm at the Bowling Club and could include sandwiches,

slices and savouries - there is an oven available to heat food.

You would also be required to make cups of tea for the group,

but this is supplied by the club. If you are available and

interested in helping out with preparing plates and serving

afternoon tea, please get in touch with Melissa via email

melissar@pointprimary.school.nz or leave a message in the

office.

Thank you

We are really excited that “Get to the Point” is coming up

on Saturday 9th November. This year we will be running the

Chocolate Wheel and the Salad Bar again.

We would love to invite any interested parents that would

like to run and organise the Salad Bar to let the office know.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in

please email reception@pointprimary.school.nz or come

and see Penny in the office. Join us for a fun day - we would

love to hear from you!

We are asking all families to donate a box of chocolates or a

box of scorched almonds to go towards the prizes for the

day. These can be dropped to the office.

Donations of salads closer to the time will

be requested. Keep an eye out in upcoming

Newsletters and on the Facebook page.

Thanks for your assistance with this!
