Welcome back to school – we do hope you have been collecting your coins during the holidays! Grade 3s are in the lead and have issued the challenge to the other classes – their aim is to collect the most coins and to make an amazing creative Birthday design with their coins. Remember the class with the most creative, fun design on the day will be rewarded with a surprise treat. Get collecting and bring your small change (10c, 20c, 50x, R1, R2 & R5 coins) everyday to school and pop into your class Bling Day Jar. All proceeds go to our Bursary Fund.
Thank you to all the Micklefield supporters who continue to swipe their MySchool or WW Cards. R5216 was raised in the month of June which brings us to a total of R36 787 raised this year so far through this fantastic fundraising initiative.
