Recycling

Another massive thank you to Chad Rossi and his family for collecting a very large quantity of breadtags. Chad is in grade 1 in Mrs Domingo’s class and he collected two BIG boxes of breadtags which will be used towards getting another wheelchair for the less fortunate!

Here is a picture of Chad with his class – Thanks big man!

As most of the Parents and children at AMPS know we have been collecting bread tags for some time. This has been managed and run buy our Media Centre lady Miss Crichton. We have managed to raise enough to get seven wheelchairs for charity!

Thanks to the children and their families this has been very successful and now Our Lady of Loretta (A Catholic Church – here in Kempton Park) have also started collecting tags.

We would like to send a heartfelt thank you out to the church, it’s staff and congregation for helping us in collecting, the church has already donated a sizable amount of bread tags. This will definitely help us towards collecting enough for another 2 wheelchairs (fingers crossed)

Don’t forget to keep collecting your plastic bread tags, not only is this a good way to recycle it’s a good way to help those less fortunate than others! You can send bread tags directly to the school office or with your children if they attend AMPS.

Thank you to those parents that have been continually collecting – you’re effort is always appreciated!

The learners and teachers of Aston Manor Primary School gave three wheelchairs to children in desperate need of them. 

A very big “Thank You” goes out to the learners, teachers and many other people who collected over 110 kg of bread tags (a toothpick weighs more than these bread tags!) which were then sent to Interwaste for recycling and in return we received 7 wheelchairs, Three of which were handed over on the 30th May 2012. Three children – Vuyo, Vincent and Fortunate -were identified with the help of Mrs Leona Scheepers of the Community Outreach Program or COP.
