	Description:		The price of butter has seen a number of schools ditch traditional fundraisers in favour of selling blocks of butter instead. Westgold has been supplying the 250 gram blocks which go for $4, and schools get to keep $1 a block. It's a bargain compared to supermarkets where some 500 gram blocks are hitting $11. But Kaitangata School in South Otago has manged to cash in on the deal, raising thousands. Teacher and parent at the school, Brittany Morrison spoke to Lisa Owen.
