Items up for grabs from Te Mata School
Te Mata School have a number of items available to go to good homes.
There are computer desks, school desks, a table, shelves, even a working organ (the chairs that were available are gone but more will be available soon). Please pop in to see the head caretaker Gus Keip.
The items are currently taking up space in the music room and we really need that space.
For just a small donation you could take home a tidy desk for your kids to do their homework on, or even a computer desk for you bigger kids or yourselves to work at.
Are you musician, or do you now someone who is, and would love a piano organ?
Perhaps you need some new planter boxes? Desks work well for small planters. Just take the top off and line it with plastic. Or perhaps you need some extra wall storage. Take the legs off and hang the desk on the wall with the top facing out.They can be top or side hinged cubby's or cupboards.
Do you need display shelves or bookshelves? They are available too! We have a rocket! Everyone needs a rocket!
All any of the items cost is a small donation. Whatever you think is fair. Any amount will be gratefully accepted.
