Newsletter October 2014

1–2 minutes

We are running the race to finish the last term!  I have mixed feelings as I type this letter. I am so excited to see all the growth taking place at the school, but also sad to say goodbye to the Grade R learners.  We are so proud of them!

Growth and support

-Our playground got a stone covering!  Thanks to Pierre du Preez for the generous donation of stone.  We do not have muddy feet anymore and the playground looks amazing!

-The grade R class received two brand new tables.  Thank you Bonita (one of our volunteers) and Panga Panga furniture.  The tables make a huge difference and work is done without frustration.

-Thank you to Clippa Sales for the donation of sweets. The children count the days for treat-Friday.

-We received a donation of books from the Heldervalley community centre. I always say: “success comes from reading” We are nurturing a love for reading.
