Taking Action - Fundraising

Pod 4 are fundraising for a worm farm and are selling Ginger Pye lunch wrappers. We are tryingto reduce the amount of waste at Wanaka Primary School by encouraging our children to use less wrapping and packaging on their school lunches and snacks. We contacted a company called Ginger Pye and they have been amazing. They have been very helpful and really want us to achieve our goals and gave us a generous price for our promotion. The children have taken on every aspect of the fundraising from approaching our Principal ( Wendy) for the OK to do this to the marketing, newsletter caption, order forms and visiting the BOTs.


We would like to promote Ginger Pye products on our blog. Click their link to go to their web site.











Here are some photos of their product, reusable lunch and snack wrappers.
