Alma School had a cultural evening on

Thursday, 15 September. The choir,

wheelchair dancers and percussion band

prac(ced hard and looked forward to the

evening. Quite a number of parents turned

up to support their children and could

proudly observe what their children

were capable of!! A string ensemble

from “Crea(ve Alliance for Youth in Arts”

from A.eridgeville enhanced the

evening’s experience.

A0er the performances, it was (me to dance!

The children danced their hearts out and

showed that healthy fun is part of our Alma

culture. Many thanks to all the staff involved,

as well as our principal, Mr Bondesio, who

a.ended the occasion. Last, but not least, a

special thanks to all the parents and children

who made all of this possible.

Tekkie Tax Business Ambassador for Disabili(es

The Tekkie Tax Business Ambassador for

Disabili(es, Michellene Toms, celebrated

her birthday with learners from Group

24 on Tuesday, 20 September.

The superhero themed party was great

fun and our learners each went home with a superhero

mask and a party pack. The learners from Group 22

made the most delicious snack pla.ers for the adults to

enjoy. Overall it was a blessed and fun day!!!

We want to thank everyone who helped with the “plas(c bo.le tops project” for a wheel-

They will be able to help the next person who needs as wheelchair.

Our school will then finalise the project on 26 September 2016.
