FROM THE OFFICE

Thank you to all our learners and teachers for their hard work, commitment and dedication throughout the very busy third term. Our school’s lovely achievements as well as our learners’ commendable behaviour during the different events, activities and competitions fills me with pride and gratitude. “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ‒ Melody Beattie.

We recognise and celebrate the cultural wealth of our nation on Saturday and wish all of our families a special time together on this day.

We would like to wish all our learners, parents and teachers a well deserved, wonderful spring holiday.

YADAH

This week we pray  for: 
This week we pray for the renewal of body, mind and soul. May our Midstream families find time during the holidays to rest and find the strength from God to move forward with vigour and enthusiasm on the path He has laid out for us.

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!
