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.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
