Dear Moms and Dads
Wow! What a super morning we had on Saturday. The weather was terrific and the support from you the parents was amazing!
A HUGE THANK YOU, to Chantal, the class reps, parents and teachers for all their hard work on the day-transporting all the equipment, tables, chairs, bikes, and for manning the food and games stalls.
Your children and this school are so privileged to have your support as this enables our school to progress and grow with all the necessary equipment and facilities on hand.

MOM’S DAY AT FHPPS-Friday 5th May between 8am and 12 noon.
Our next exciting event is on Friday this week. Our Marvellous and very precious moms are invited to come and spend an hour or two, between 8am and 12 noon, or even the whole morning with their children doing some art and other fun activities. The children will also entertain you with a short ‘sing-song’ at 10am, followed by tea and cake.
If you are unable to attend please see if you can send an aunty or special friend along for part of the morning, as children can become quite upset if they do not have a special person for an hour or two.
We wish our wonderful MOMS a very Happy ‘Mother’s Day’ on Sunday. We hope that you are spoilt with love and good memories.
A very special Pamper party for our moms and their children has been organised for Sat 18th May from 9am-12am. Invitations were put in your child’s message pockets last week. Only R100 for mom and child! Snacks, goodie bag and loads of good company awaits you. Please contact Jimina -0728551975 / jimina.morris@gmail.com or Jane in the office for tickets.
