YADAH

This week we pray  for: 
Small businesses in our community. We pray for the owners of small, local businesses that pour their heart and soul into their enterprises. For most small business owners, their businesses are not just another shop, restaurant or company but a lifelong dream. We pray for God’s guidance for these owners and for our Father’s grace and blessings over their businesses.

VISIT FROM AUTHOR AND FOUNDER OF THE LEARN PROJECT – ROSLYNNE TOERIEN

On Friday, 23 September, highly acclaimed children’s author and CEO and Founder of the South African Non-Profit Trust, ‘The LEARN Project’, Roslynne Toerien, will be visiting our Grade 1 – Grade 5 learners. She lives by the motto ‘Small actions lead to big change’ and this can be seen in the number of school LEARN library doors that have been opened and minds that have been unlocked through the power of books and literacy. She will be sharing with us regarding the writing process as well as the privilege of reading. She will also be reading to us from two of her books, ‘The Rumbling Rhino’ and ‘Under the Baobab Tree’.

We cannot wait to welcome this dynamic lady to our school!

NEW YADAH PROJECT: PET FOOD

No one needs to wonder whether pets are loved and cared for in Midstream! Our children’s faces light up when they get the opportunity to talk about their pets. For our next project, we will collect any dog and cat food, which we will donate to various organisations, including PawsRUs, Wet Nose and the SPCA. Should you wish to participate in this project, please send any bag of pet food to your child’s register teacher. Thank you!
