Ally Stark

It's hard to say goodbye and especially to such a dear sweet child.

Alexandra Stark, known to us all as Ally.  These are just a few of the pics I've taken of her over the last two years that I've gotten to know her.

Grade 1S Easter Hat Parade

At some of the birthday parties we went to

And of course at the school concert this year.

Ally's funeral will be held at 2pm on Thursday 29 October at Liberty Church, Cnr West & Hill Street in Ferndale.

Our heartfelt condolences, thoughts and prayers got to her whole family.  This is not an easy time and thank you for allowing me to say goodbye in this way.

If you would also like to leave your message for the family, please just click on "comments" and write it on this post.  We will forward them on to the family.

Measles Vaccination

This will take place on Thursday 29^th October 2009.  Parents are requested to please return the completed consent form to school on Monday 26^th October.  No child may be vaccinated without the completed consent form.

A day with elephants

Diane Bothner won the raffle prize at our car day.  She has sent us two pictures from the day out with the elephants.

"We had such a wonderful time (despite the spitting rain and wind) and were so excited.  We saw 6 adult elephants and a 6 month old baby.  We got to feed all 6 adults – Abigail was even brave enough to put her hand in the elephant’s mouth."

Wow it sure looks like it was fun.... definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we all should get to have!

One of our grade 7 learners, Amber van der Kallen was involved in an accident during the holidays. Both her parents and an older sister died in this accident. Both Amber and her sister Bianca are still in hospital in Cape Town with serious injuries.

The family has no medical aid and we want to appeal to our school families to assist us in raising money for their further medical treatment.

A special civvies day will therefore be held on Friday 23 October. There will be a mininum cost of R5 per learner. Please continue to pray for Amber and Bianca.
