🍎 2026 Yummy Apple Promotion is here! 🍎

FOAMS are excited to once again take part in the Yummy Apple Promotion to help earn FREE sports gear for our tamariki!

Last year our community did an amazing job collecting stickers and labels and we were able to refresh and add to our sporting equipment — and we’d love your support again in 2026.

Here’s how you can help:
✅ Buy Yummy apples
✅ Keep the stickers and bag cut-out labels (ask your friends and family to do the same)
✅ Stick them onto collection sheets
✅ Return completed sheets to the school office by 9 October 2026

Keep an eye out for Yummy apple stickers that are shown on the attached form. Every sticker counts towards free sports equipment for our students

Collection sheets are available from the school office or can be downloaded from: https://www.yummyfruit.co.nz/schools/

Thank you for supporting our school community
