Silverdale Kindergarten Bikeathon and Gala – 27th March 2021- 10am-2pm!

Kaitiaki kindergarten is a kiwi not-for-profit organisation that strives to provide the best education for pre-school tamariki. 

Therefore, FUNDRAISING is a big part of how we can finance the upgrading of our kindergarten outdoor environment.

Silverdale Kindergarten are hosting there annual fundraising event ‘Bikeathon and mini gala’ to raise money to upgrade the outdoor learning space! Our upgrade will hopefully include new soft fall, native plants, pathways to explore and an exciting extension to our carpentry area, and native fencing.

It’s a community event with food, raffles, amazing auctions, a chance to win $500, bouncy castle, games, plant stall, sensational seconds stall, helicopter simulator, cheerleading and a chance to encourage our young kindergarten children on their bikes. It will be held at the kindergarten on Silverdale School grounds.

The more we can raise at this event the less fundraising we will have to do for the rest of the year!
