A table of specially selected books that our library shelves would love to host will be on show at the Gr00-3 Meet the Teacher on Monday 29 January from 17:40 until 17:55. Please consider selecting a book to donate to our library. A donation plaque with your daughter’s name and grade will be placed inside the book and she will also be the first to take the brand new donated book home from the library. The cost of the book will be billed to your school account, so no need for cash. These donated books are a legacy for years to come for all girls visiting the library.
The first class reps meeting of the year will be held at Micklefield on Thursday 1 February 2024 from 8-9am.
The Main Events Calendar can be found on the Edana App, under Documents as well as on the website www.micklefield.co.za under “Your Micklefield”- “Micklefield Calendar”.
