This year at Central Kids Edgecumbe Kindergarten, we decided that we wanted to give back to the local community, whilst teaching our tamariki about kindness and the gift of giving to others at Christmas.

As a teaching team, we swapped our Secret Santa into buying a present for a child and we put a shout out to our kindergarten whānau to donate unperishable food items for a Christmas Hamper.

Look what our amazing community donated!

We are feeling proud and a little overwhelmed by the kindness of our whānau and are looking forward to delivering all the goodies to the Women’s Refuge later this afternoon.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
