Motuora Fundraiser follow up

Hot Text - http://www.sparklee.com



Well done to Room 21 who raised over $800 during the walkathon, for our Motuora Unit. We raised the second highest amount at school and for that, we get a special treat of a movie, popcorn and a drink or iceblock.

A huge well done to Blake who raised the highest amount in the whole school, a whopping $218 - we hope you are enjoying your prize Blake - an awesome effort! You all make such a difference with your efforts and the efforts of your family and friends. This is living the Red Beach vision! Thank you parents for supporting your children to succeed. Vanessa and many other students at Red Beach School will directly benefit from your hard work.

Walkathon Fundraiser for Motuora

Room 21 went with all of Red Beach School to walk at Shakespear Regional Park on Friday, as a fundraiser for our Motuora Unit at school. Our amazing staff in Motuora work with children with disabilities and Vanessa is a student in Room 21 who benefits from the support and care of the Motuora Unit. Room 21 enjoyed walking with Room 26, and we had a great time playing at the park after our walk as well. The iceblocks were a welcome treat at the end of such a lot of walking and running around down at the park. So far, the school has raised over $12,000 from this fundraiser - an amazing effort from the Red Beach Community!
