Half Marathon Sponsorship
In a few weeks time Whaea Stevie, Mr Shaw, Whaea Kelli, Whaea Chicky, Mrs Croucher, Miss Snow, Miss Manukau, Whaea Tia and friends will be completing the half marathon in Kerikeri for Team Harold/Life Education Trust.
Therefore we need to get some sponsors.
It's for a great cause. Life Ed Trust and Harold do great things in schools and we want them to stay around for ever.
If you able to sponsor our Kaikohe East Team just $1 or $2 that would be awesome.
Call into the school office and leave your sponsorship money with Whaea Kohi.
