Dear Moms and Dads
Hope you all had a super weekend. The storm is coming apparently, so please remember to dress your children warmly and provide a change of clothing for them in case they get wet.
We are in desperate need of paper for the children to draw and paint on. Large A3 pieces as well as A4 pieces. Any paper that is plain on one side will do. Cardboard is also wonderful to use in the classrooms for art.
If you perhaps have a contact for paper, and cardboard off cuts please let us know.
The art rooms also need interesting bits and pieces, stickers, shiny paper, corrugated cardboard, plastic bits, wool, old wrapping paper etc. If you have anything around please bring it to school.
PLEASE NOTE
We have had one case of Scarlet fever in the Rainbow Class 
THANK YOU
Thank you to all our Penguin parents who provided a super array of goodies for our cake sale on Friday.
ART AUCTION
The Auction evening will be held on Friday 13th September, 7pm for 7.30pm.
To those of you who have not experienced this function before, it is truly wonderful. The teacher’s help the children to create various craft items that we auction off during the evening. The items that the children make are magnificent. All made by the children with the help of their teachers.Items on auction will be, table cloths, mosaic mirrors, table runners, pillow cases, bean bags and individual collages. Please keep this date free, and ask friends and family to join you.
This year we will be having Alan Marriott, a ‘hypnotist/comedian, to entertain us for the evening. We will be charging a small fee of R20 per person, which will also get you a ticket into the lucky draw. Tickets for the Art Auction are available in the office.
 Only R20 for snacks, an evening of fun, laughter and entertainment, as well as a chance of winning a fabulous lucky draw prize.
