Uplands Kindergarten is 50 years young
We had a fabulous celebration of 50 years of Uplands Kindergarten yesterday. Thank you to everyone who joined us at church and afterwards in the kindergarten.
Special mention to:
Ken at Pacific Gold for the sausages - so yummy
Craig and his team for cooking them
Bakers Delight Remuera for the bread - so yummy (and Emily for picking up)

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
