DEAR PARENTS AND WHANAU
As 2017 draws to a close I would like to thank you all for continuing to support Creative Corner.
To our Board of Trustees, I would like to extend a huge thank you for all the work you do to ensure that Creative Corner continues to be the wonderful place that it is for our children.
I hope that everyone gets to have a well-deserved break and is able to spend time with family and loved ones over the holiday period.
I look forward to seeing you all back relaxed and ready for another year.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas.
AMY

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE BOARD
A huge thank you to all parents and whanau. Through your continued support you have made it a very successful year for the Centre. As we are a Not for Profit Centre, we cannot raise vital funds for resources without you. By giving your time, selling tickets, sharing on Facebook or word of mouth you have helped, even if you couldn’t attend every event.
We are focusing on fewer but bigger events for 2018.
The Trike-a-thon in March is next! Always a fun day.
Heartfelt thanks to the amazing teachers and staff that care for our children. It has been a year of movement and change and we thank you all for stepping up when needed.
Wishing every family a relaxing and fun Christmas, enjoy spending time with your loved ones.

CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS PARTY
It was great to see such a good turnout of Creative Corner families. The children’s performance of their Christmas songs was fantastic and the visit from Santa was welcomed with huge enthusiasm by the children. Thanks to everyone who supported this event.

Children will draw a picture on size A4 and younger children may have a handprint. These make great personalised Christmas presents for your whanau and friends.
Pictures drawn by your children will be available to view at the Centre commencing the week of 27 November 2017. Please see one of your child's teachers.
An order form for calendars has been placed in your child's pocket. Each calendar is $10.00 and a sample is on the wall at Reception. We ask that orders be returned by 4 December at the latest. No orders will be accepted without payment. Thanks.

OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS REMINDER
Please note 31 December is the end of the financial year for Creative Corner.
Our accountant asks that all accounts for 2017 are paid in full before the end of the year.
We encourage you to comply with this but if it is going to be a problem for you please see Amy or Kate.
Another option to think about is setting up a weekly automatic payment - this is a very convenient way to pay your account.

CHILDREN'S TOYS
We ask that your child does not bring their toys to Creative Corner. This can cause issues and we cannot guarantee that these will go home with your child at night.
