We hope you all had a fantastic weekend selling Grocery Grab tickets! 🎉

Don't forget that Kelsey will be in the school office on Tuesday if you need to collect more tickets.

Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm every ticket sold helps support our school. Keep up the amazing effort!

💙 Go Team Taonui! 💙

Don’t forget your grocery grab tickets!

Kelsey will be available in the afternoon if you’d like to hand in your tickets and collect more.

If you’ve completed your book, please return it as early as possible, this helps us keep track of progress and saves Kelsey time with counting at the end of the event.

Please make one payment per family to Friends.

If each student is able to sell their full book, it would make a fantastic contribution to our fundraising efforts.

And don’t forget, there’s a prize for the student who sells the most tickets! Last year’s winner sold 120!

Don’t forget! We have an awesome fundraising opportunity!

If we can get as many of our families and friends as possible to like and follow the “Destination Kaimanawa Lodge” page, Kaimanawa Lodge (Tūrangi) will generously donate a 2-bedroom, 2+ bathroom unit stay over Easter 2027 to Taonui School.

It’s a fantastic resort with so much for families to enjoy!

So get spreading the word and encourage everyone you know to like the “Destination Kaimanawa Lodge” page.

With a bit of luck, someone in our community could win an amazing Easter getaway!

A huge shoutout to Stocklines for providing us with a truck for our Colour Run! This obstacle was definitely a huge hit with the kids, and they absolutely loved it.

We truly appreciate your ongoing support of our school community. Thank you, Ian and Abby!

We need your help this Friday!

We’re looking for some extra hands to help set up the course, from blowing up balloons, setting up the slip and slide, to moving chairs. It would also be great to have a few volunteers available during the event, so our colour throwers can take a well-earned break.

Thank you for your continued support!

Only a few more days to go!! We’ve raised an incredible $8,700 so far - let’s see if we can reach our goal of $10,000! Top fundraisers will earn the chance to slime their teachers, with the highest fundraiser getting to slime Mr McCallum! 🎉💚🟢
