Waitakere Kindergarten celebrates 25 years
Waitakere Kindergarten is going back in time to mark its 25th anniversary.
Many of the preschool's founding students will return to the kindergarten on November 28 to dig up the time capsules they buried as
youngsters.
Now aged in their 30s, the former pupils will pour over the pieces of history they hid 25 years ago.
The time capsules bear letters from their parents, a ribbon from the opening ceremony, newspaper clippings, and photographs.
Families of existing students will also bury time capsules during the anniversary celebration, which starts at 3pm.
Among their treasures will be memoirs about life for preschoolers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
After the ceremony, a Pop-up Op shop will be set up to raise funds for the preschool.
Activities for the children, a sausage sizzle and a bake sale are also planned.
