Dear Moms and Dads
It was so wonderful to see so many moms here, enjoying the day with their children last Friday morning. Your children certainly appreciated the effort that you made to be here. You are very special to your child and your interest in their education and the quality time spent with your child will have long-lasting effects on their growth and development.
We hope that you enjoyed seeing a glimpse into their morning at school and all the wonderful activities that they are encouraged to do in order to gain the necessary skills for life.
Please remember the Moms and Daughter/son Pamper Party that is being held here at school this Saturday 18th May from 9am. Please phone or email Jimina to book your time. Only R100 for mom and child! Snacks, goodie bag and loads of good company awaits you. Please contact Jimina -0728551975 / jimina.morris@gmail.com

Please read our noticeboard about our forthcoming outings. First one is next Friday 24th May. I am collecting R10 towards Scratch Patch outing.

Angelfish
The children loved having their moms here on Friday. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to join us. Please sign permission for our outing on 24th May and indicate if you are able to help with lifts.
I also need some volunteers to wash our hand towels.
Please try to bring your children to school before 8.30am. They need a little play time before we start morning ring. It gives them time to settle and play with their friends and it is very disruptive when you come in during ring times.
X Bonita and Nawaal
