STOP AND GO – WOOD ROAD
Please note that there is a Stop and Go system in place during peak drop off time in the parking lot at Wood Road. Please do not get out of your car as this creates congestion. Should you wish to get out of your car to assist your daughter or walk her to the school gate, please rather park your car in order to do so. Thank you for your co-operation in this which will greatly assist Menezi (Theo) in facilitating the smooth flow of traffic.
A reminder to please send in your completed contributions form that was e-mailed to parents last week. This will greatly assist the reps in their planning.

GUM GUARDS
Jeanne-Marie Engelbrecht will be delivering the gum guards on Tuesday, 5 March so if anyone would still like to order, she will be able to take impressions on Tuesday. These are expensive custom-made gum guards and are more suited to older girls. Shop-bought gum guards are absolutely fine for the hockey season. Forms have been handed out to any interested girls this week. Completed forms and proof of payment must be given to Sandi Blackbeard by Monday, 3 March.

weekly snapshots
We were treated to an inspiring talk by Scottish author, Nadine Aisha Jassat. Our girls loved the very interactive session and were proud of the story they created in a matter of minutes with Nadine. Her latest book The Stories Grandma Forgot (and How I Found Them) is a beautiful poetic read that will resonate with every reader.
Grade 1 had their first Robotics lesson, this week! They worked so well with their partners building and coding a boat launcher. There are certainly some budding engineers in this class.
