Morena Paparangi, food bank collection on Friday, organised by Joe, Y6 student. Donations welcomed – send to school with your tamariki.

Dear Paparangi School
For my birthday this year I want to help people who don’t have much money to be able to buy enough food for their family. Last year my friends helped me by bringing food instead of birthday presents to my party and I felt really happy when I dropped off lots of food to the foodbank so I want to do it again this year. Anything like cans of food or fruit, biscuits or muesli bars, chips, potato sticks, pasta, cereal or bags of flour is a good idea.
If you would like to, please bring some food to donate to the Newlands Food Bank to school on Friday 24th September. There will be boxes available at school to put the food in. Thanks to my Mum and Dad who are going to help me deliver the donation to the Foodbank.

Thank you from Joe, Rakau Nui
