The teachers of Kauri request you support your children by ensuring they bring neutral clothes (black and\/or white) in a bag to wear for the performances under their costumes. These can begin coming in Friday, but will need to be here this Monday. Some students may also have need of extra bits and pieces for their costumes. Students from the trojan scene are needing a small white sheet and a tie or belt. Give your child's homeroom teacher an email if you need any further direction.<\/span><\/span><\/p><div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEibnlfHRHClQjxRP3AAD2stc4Vtq_hx8jU2fHhIHkLlkEfLDw8dyVgYNPp1knI_-o8uAuSzIFNSQEd4OrYKjKUWsyG6AyZHHxm9GhzuSp89ZoRZ9DHQXIGfrbRuPtq5MLcc7QoW5byFEZUzTHgSDxWDq7X451VGo9mx_TIEJzLd6_WsC9reY1T9W54XpVC-\/s4032\/IMG_3163.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"4032\" data-original-width=\"3024\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEibnlfHRHClQjxRP3AAD2stc4Vtq_hx8jU2fHhIHkLlkEfLDw8dyVgYNPp1knI_-o8uAuSzIFNSQEd4OrYKjKUWsyG6AyZHHxm9GhzuSp89ZoRZ9DHQXIGfrbRuPtq5MLcc7QoW5byFEZUzTHgSDxWDq7X451VGo9mx_TIEJzLd6_WsC9reY1T9W54XpVC-\/s320\/IMG_3163.JPG\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div><span style=\"font-family: arial;\"><br \/><div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjCJQuXE6NuExq3pBT61l3fjGXQr-As33JAPyGUMIeT01agS_OmcR46a_cfMZ2ziodtUFcDAdvpvEmzMHU88utw_HIEyoKBRpnPItG0tDaUy7GGUvLo71GsVeISeyTwt9KzVRmj_G92TYjuEsP_JXtfpXR71ePXTlnfVCnsgeE0xVBo1uNUMhci0IAT4S2N\/s4032\/IMG_3140.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"4032\" data-original-width=\"3024\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjCJQuXE6NuExq3pBT61l3fjGXQr-As33JAPyGUMIeT01agS_OmcR46a_cfMZ2ziodtUFcDAdvpvEmzMHU88utw_HIEyoKBRpnPItG0tDaUy7GGUvLo71GsVeISeyTwt9KzVRmj_G92TYjuEsP_JXtfpXR71ePXTlnfVCnsgeE0xVBo1uNUMhci0IAT4S2N\/s320\/IMG_3140.JPG\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/div><br \/><div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgPx9VCIt_JdpyGsCKCBulu37pYdAC8YK_5qrZVewM84eQlJg-nByF6snT4drCmdC7FOyIsM964ln8T3zYSMJLFHJ4ibzTi0-gE_G0gZlT_diAW7GH_Qu9LNaNWF-IpwcNZsiVwIufE6qvVLu-jF84p6gwwUPlWxzob9I30fZpsjdfsVyAYQM6GmhKniC-x\/s4032\/IMG_3137.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"4032\" data-original-width=\"3024\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgPx9VCIt_JdpyGsCKCBulu37pYdAC8YK_5qrZVewM84eQlJg-nByF6snT4drCmdC7FOyIsM964ln8T3zYSMJLFHJ4ibzTi0-gE_G0gZlT_diAW7GH_Qu9LNaNWF-IpwcNZsiVwIufE6qvVLu-jF84p6gwwUPlWxzob9I30fZpsjdfsVyAYQM6GmhKniC-x\/s320\/IMG_3137.JPG\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/div><br \/><div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgjg7ecI9Tg8wmvFcs_3SiIKXOvnGzAwsEbx5aSQsbAO7q6vC6KJ9TXwgEWsrJjZgzINSi4tr-vqsLMG4s9eza5Dc2Hpn9UDRdlom1IPvONakZNjUWK20cgxdvu1N81Sj23MyV5OyK0JxiSDCMHnCgKZDK-Ezs_bIT5jU7O-8c9iDQHZLr-QX2W6ZxrMtjG\/s4032\/IMG_3131.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"4032\" data-original-width=\"3024\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgjg7ecI9Tg8wmvFcs_3SiIKXOvnGzAwsEbx5aSQsbAO7q6vC6KJ9TXwgEWsrJjZgzINSi4tr-vqsLMG4s9eza5Dc2Hpn9UDRdlom1IPvONakZNjUWK20cgxdvu1N81Sj23MyV5OyK0JxiSDCMHnCgKZDK-Ezs_bIT5jU7O-8c9iDQHZLr-QX2W6ZxrMtjG\/s320\/IMG_3131.JPG\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/div><br \/><\/span><p><\/p><p data-end=\"822\" data-start=\"697\"><b><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Colour Run<\/span><\/b><\/p><p data-end=\"822\" data-start=\"697\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Students and staff participated in our PTA run event colour run Friday Week 7.
