Kia Ora everyone
It’s great to see a very busy LTR in action so welcome to all our LTR families as well. I hope you are all enjoying it. A big thank you to all our coaches involved with this. Dates for your Diary
Book Fair Success! Congratulations everyone on a very successful book fair. The preliminary count indicates that over $8000 was raised. This will be used for coach and equipment expenses and means we can retain our coach and equipment levies to the usual costs. It is also beneficial in grant applications to indicate that we do fundraising which reflects positively in grant requests. A massive thank you must go to the book fair team: Rachael Martin, Clare Stanley, Matt Seymour, Leeann Williams and Nicola Holden. There have been months of work that has gone on behind the scenes in order to make this weekend work so well. So thank you hugely to these amazing people who have taken on this ‘second job’ and can now go back to their regular day jobs! And also thank you to everyone in our rowing group – rowers and parents, for delivering fliers, baking, transporting books, doing your allocated job, turning up when requested and for some, staying way longer than expected! Thank you also to our school and Principal Sheena Millar for use of the school student centre and for the advertising exposure on the school sign at the front of the school. These were some of the key components to the book fair success. Also a shout out to Caretaker Graeme Thomas who was extremely helpful in all things logistical prior to and throughout the weekend. Well done everyone! Book Fair baking containers See the photo of left over baking containers, at the end of the DaySheet. Rachael is holding these if you want to claim one. LTR Camp Camp Depart after school Fri 27th Sept, camp starts 7.30pm Camp Return Tues 1st Oct, camp finishes 2pm LTR Camp is only 4 weeks away. Camp is held at the Wanganui Top 10 Holiday Park. We will be travelling to Wanganui after school by bus with own return transport. There will be a regatta on the Tuesday at 12noon, so it is a good way to combine coming to watch the regatta with pick up. Squad Managers will also arrange car-pooling if needed. Training will be a step up at camp with more water time and is also a lot of fun. However if you are not coming to camp, then please let Stephanie know asap. Camp cost is likely to be approx. $250, but more information on the camp will be issued soon. There will also be a LTR Camp meeting for LTR-ers and parents on Friday 20th Sept after training.
