CONDOLENCES

2007 INTAKE

Our condolences go to Sue, Michael and Renee Elmira on the unexpected death of Greg. This has been so hard. Sue was our Caring Mom for many years and it is now our turn to be here for her and the boys - we do so willingly. God bless you all during this difficult time.

We already have approximately 50 children wait-listed for 2007 enrolment. If you already have a child at Bryandale and have another child due to start Grade 1 next year, but haven' t yet put their name down, you are really in trouble. Contact the office to put their names on the waiting list.

THANK YOU

FROM THE BRYANDALE PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION

To all of our parents who support, assist and overlook our imperfections. The stronger our team-work, the better the support for all children.

SPELLATHON

We estimate we will collect ± R65,000. Thank you to all the sponsors. To the children who have learned their spelling so well, I hope all these words will now be applied in written work. Thank you to each and every one!

END OF THE YEAR IS NEAR

Should any pupils be relocating to another school in 2007, we would really like to know. This will assist us in our planning and the shortening of our waiting list for next year.

PRINCIPALS’ CONFERENCE

Ms. Laubscher and Mrs. Griebenow will attend the South African Principals’ conference in Bloemfontein from Wednesday to Friday of this week. The school will be safe in the capable hands of Mrs. Longmore, Mr. Ainley, Mrs. Groeneveld, Mr. de Beer and Mrs. van Schalkwyk. We trust the information gleaned from all the experts at this conference will assist in improvements for all.

DIETARY BITES

So what is a balanced packed meal? Half of the volume of what is packed into the lunch box, should be full of fresh or cooked vegetables (in the form of finger foods or salads) and one or two fruit portions (peeled and ready to eat). Add some lean protein, the size of the palm of your child’s hand. Include only one fistful of slower release (lower GI) starchy food, And one added fat Round off the meal with a bottle of water.

THRIFT SHOP – Opportunity Knocks Pam Rodgers will be leaving us at the end of the year. Her expertise at running the Thrift Shop will be sorely missed. If YOU can assist us by taking over this very important function, please contact us. Jacqui Grieves : Chairlady of the BPA. [email protected]
