New World Sunkist Competition When you buy Sunkist citrus fruit, please save the stickers. We could win a set of eight iPad 2's for our school by simply collecting any Sunkist citrus fruit stickers from New World and sticking them on our classroom chart (Tip - get the children to stick them on their lunch box lids for transporting them from home to school). The competition closes on April 2nd, 2012. The winner will be drawn from the schools that have the highest number of stickers per student, whether your school has a roll of 50 or 1000! Thank you for your support - collect and send Sunkist stickers now to your child’s classroom. Swimming We have been very fortunate with the weather and the children have had lots of practice. Remember to make sure your child has their swimming togs every day. Ensure all items of clothing are named so that clothes are easily identified in the changing rooms.
