Reminder, this Friday (15th May) Apanui School will have our PJ m***i day 😀

😴 THE 1XX PYJAMA DRIVE IS ON NOW! 🛌🏻

We've teamed up with New World Kawerau to bring clothes to tamariki less fortunate in our Eastern Bay of Plenty community, all through the wonderful team at The Clothing Project!

Now until May 15th, donate new pyjamas, thermals, singlets, long sleeve tees, pants/trousers, and tights for kids aged 1 to 16, to help make their Winter warm and cozy.

And now for the fun part(...y), on our final day of the drive, come to work in your pyjamas to celebrate all of the aroha from whānau across Eastern Bay, and to have a laugh with your work mates. You won't be left out, the 1XX crew are doing it too!

We have four drop off zones around the Eastern Bay of Plenty:

- 1XX Radio Station (Whakatāne)
- New World Kawerau
- New World Ōpōtiki
- Peppers Building Supplies (Edgecumbe)

Make someone's Winter that little bit warmer by participating in the One Double X Pyjama Drive and Pyjama Party! 🌙

Head to 1XX.co.nz for more information.

Next Wednesday 13th May after morning tea our whole school is practicing our lockdown drill. This is so we know what to do in case of a real emergency.

Please note the office will be uncontactable during this time.

We are looking for donations of lollies, Ice Blocks and snack packs of chips to sell at the disco.

Proceeds from this will go towards the year 6 leavers hoodies for next year.
