Your generosity is overwhelming!

THANK YOU!

New Zealanders working at SAS dressed in red & black. The sign says "Arohanui Otautahi" which is Maori for "Sending love to Christchurch" 

I've been feeling very emotional all day, seeing so many people dressed in Red & Black for Christchurch. This class alone raised $368 to go to the New Zealand Red Cross to help people in Christchurch. Thank you so much for your incredible generosity. The ground continues to shake there every day. Christchurch people were woken again at 4am today with another strong after shock. There are usually about 10 aftershocks per day, of varying strength.

All dressed in red & black.

Hannah was in Christchurch in January. She showed us a photo of herself jumping on a bungy in the center of Christchurch. Nobody is allowed in that broken area now.

Research Projects
Most children have finished writing their research projects. It's been a fabulous week where kids are constantly begging for more time to write. They are so proud of their books. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday they will all present their books and dioramas to the class so try to get the dioramas into school on Monday morning please.

Conferences
Parent Teacher conferences will be held next Thursday and Friday. If you haven't signed up for your time yet, please go to the Primary Website and click on "SAS Conference Wiki"

Starlight Ball
I love love love the Starlight Ball. The children will look so angelic when they are all dressed up. Please don't go any any big expense for this. Just dress your child nicely so they know that this is a special occasion.
I hope you can all come to the Ball on April 8.
