Mandela Day and Birthday - all in one week!

On Thursday 18 July we celebrated Mandela's Birthday with an assembly where we sang Happy Birthday, prayed for him , sang the National Anthem and read a short version of his life. The children all brought coins and arranged them around a sketch of him that I made. The money was for charity and we raised R518 for a local soup kitchen which provides meals for the hungry people of our town.My children also wrote a simple message to him wishing him well and happiness for his Birthday - these were so sweet!

On Friday 19 July Stepping Stones School turned 37 years old and again we celebrated with songs and a beautiful Birthday Cake!

The Elephant is our school's logo hence the cake had to have an elephant's head on it!

A wonderful week of celebrations - Well done Stepping Stones!
