The Councillors sold Valentines goodies to raise money for charity. Thank you to everyone who either bought raffle tickets or teddies or sweets. The money is for a good cause and helps to uplift those in our community who need it most. We were looking forward to the first Fund Raising Committee meeting on 12 February. The expectation was that the hall would be filled with eager new and Grade 1 parents. Unfortunately the meeting was not well attended at all, less than 1% of parents at the school came to the meeting. The election of office bearers went ahead and a big thank you to the parents who were willing to stand and make themselves available to work on a valuable committee. The office bearers for 2014 are: Chairperson: Vice Chairperson: Treasurer: Secretary: Chantal Barnard Annalize Van Blerk Alyson Benjamin with Keith van der Westhuizen assisting Kathleen Veal Parents please make sure that your child is at school on time. The late comers seem to have increased in the last two weeks. We understand that traffic is a problem, but it can be overcome by leaving home earlier on rainy days. On days when traffic lights are broken, we disregard the late learners as late on those days Herewith the important dates, and activities, for the next two weeks: DAY DATE 5 Wed 19 7 Fri 21 TIME 07:30–13:30 18:00 13:30 3 5 Wed Fri 26 28 18:30 07:35 13:30 ACTIVITY Gr 7 Educational outing to Maropeng (Schlebusch) SGB meeting Galas: A team @ Trinity, Randpark; B team @ CKPS FRC meeting in the staff room All Gr 1 – 7 learners write the Charity Spellathon.
