Fundraisers

Once again, thanks to your

generosity, the children at the

Mehlareng Farm School each

received 5 marshmallow Easter

eggs and were extremely grateful.

Just seeing the expression on their

faces when we handed them out

spoke volumes on how privileged

our children really are! We were

also able to donate large cooking

pots from various funds raised.

Our Easter egg raffle raised a

whopping R37 000,00! Thank you

to each and every child who

returned their sheets. Every rand

helps towards furnishing our

media center which will hopefully

become functional this term. The

lucky winners were:

Mrs. Hart -R500,00 Easter egg

hamper

Gr. 1-3 A1 -Free meal at the

Chatoga Spur for most funds

raised

Nathan Pieters -R200,00

Greenstone Mall voucher for

raising the most money

individually.

Congratulations and thank you for

your support!

Thanks to your ongoing support,

our school raised R1 056,15

last month. Keep swiping!

Finally, I would also like to

congratulate Ms. Fourie on her

recent engagement!
