Weekly Newsletter - Applewood Preparatory School, Elgin
Weekly Newsletter Applewood Preparatory School NO:32 ISSUE:6 Dates to Remember: • Awards Evening: Dates on page 2 • Exam week - Grade 7’s go home @ 10:00 NEWS This will be the last newsletter of the year and also for me, personally, my last weekly newsletter at Applewood. During the past few days, I have thought about the many different and exciting Applewood activities and achievements which I have had the privilege of writing about over the past five years. Applewood is truly a special school which affords our children a kaleidoscope of opportunities to grow and develop. This of course is mainly thanks to the wonderful, dedicated teaching staff that makes it all happen. As the year comes to a close, I encourage all parents to reflect on what your children’s teachers have done and been for them this year. Once you have done this, why not express it to the teachers and encourage them in what they do? GOOD ROOTS PRODUCE GOOD FRUITS 27 November 2014 ●Issue 32● www.applewood.co.za (021) 848 9121 I also want to say thank you to every person who has helped to make my (and my families’) time at Applewood such a rich and a memorable one. At the Spit Braai evening, the PA gave me a super framed photo of all the children and staff standing outside the front of the school as a gift. Looking at this picture will bring back warm memories for many years to come – thank you. I certainly look forward to hearing about the many good things which will be happening in the future at Applewood. Our various awards evenings and Grade 7 Farewell is still to come. Please book these in your diaries as these are not only celebrations, but also intentional functions designed to bring good closure to the academic year. Finally on another positive note – enrolment for next year continues to grow weekly. By the end of the year (once all the Apple Pips have arrived), we shall have 179 pupils. The PrePrimary classes are filling very quickly. The Grade R class is already full and there are only 3 places left between the Apple Pips and Busy Bees classes. If you have a child with a younger sibling who you intend to enrol in the Pre-Primary next year (even if they turn 3 during the course of the year and will not start at the beginning of the year), please contact Mrs Luden as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment. Have a super week ahead. BRENDAN CARROLL GRADE 6’S MAPPING AT THE CORDER FARM – THANK YOU MRS CORDER!
