Hope School Country Fair at Alert Level 2
Hi folks, Hope School Country Fair is ON!
Saturday 25 September
11am - 2pm (three x 1 hour sessions)
Hope School, 316 Paton Road, Hope
Rain or shine / Alert Level 2 or 1 :-)
At Alert Level 2 we are restricted to 100 visitors on site, so we are offering free tickets via Eventbrite for timed sessions at 11, 12 and 1 o'clock. You must have a ticket to enter, so that we can keep track of numbers. There is a link below to order your tickets.
There will be viewing of our Silent Auction (note all auctions will be run on Trade Me #hopeschool, closing on the evening of Saturday 25th), plant sale, baking, produce, preserves, sausage sizzle, takeaway cafe, firewood raffle and some socially distanced entertainment. Please come along and support our little school. We're raising money for STEAMS resources.
If you aren't able to come along but would still like to support the school, we have a givealittle page where you can make a donation. All details will be on our Facebook page, including links to the raffles and Silent Auction, which will all have an online option. Thanks for your support!

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
