Welcome to Kerri-Lee
“What a great school, I’m going to love it here!”
Bikewise Thanks to Bruce and Danielle for a fantastic Bikewise programme this week. The kids learnt lots of new skills and gained confidence on their bikes. It was fantastic to see the junior students concentrating so hard and a
few kids even managed to ditch their training wheels. Well done, what an achievement!
Co-Op This year CO-OP is back on and we want people to bring in their treats to sell to all the kids in Limehills School. If you would like to bring something, homemade or home grown food, please bring it to Room 5 on Friday morning so we can sell it for you. If you are planning on bringing in food or other items to sell, please email jordann@limehil ls.school.nz by Wednesday morning and we can then advertise this in the school newsletter.
Thank YouThe CO-OP TeamJordan, Josh, Danny, Ella
