SPCA Collection

SPCA Collection 150 150 schoolman

Every year AMPS with the drive of Mrs v Dijk (music / arts & culture teacher) get together to collect “presents” for the SPCA. With the help of children parents and staff the school collects money, food, blankets, toys etc which is then handed over to the SPCA in the hopes that it’ll make the animals a little less lonely over the December holidays.

Aston Manor Primary School had their annual Christmas SPCA collection and beat their previous best from last year. We collected more than 1,2 tonnes of dog and cat food as well as animal toys, blankets and money. Jenna Naude, Caeran Henricks, Nathan Short, Cameron Viles, Lucian Voster and Karina Mazari collected the most for the SPCA.

Thank you to all the parents that came to watch our Interhouse Athletics – unfortunately our pavilion hasn’t been completed yet so it was a little difficult to keep everyone is one place. Despite this we saw parents assisting and helping the staff keep children off the track and generally being good sports! To the parents thank you very much for this. We’ve put some of the photos up you can get them here

A Morning in Tembisa

by Miss Crichton

tembisa (18 of 32)On Wednesday (24 July 2013) I spent a very interesting morning in the company of Leona Scheepers of the Community Outreach Program.  We went into Tembisa, into some of

the poorest areas and the squatter camps, to deliver vegetables, fruit and other items needed by a few of the many nursery schools and day-care centers.

These little schools can be found everywhere, some within read more

The Staff, Children and Parents of Aston Manor Primary School celebrated Mandela’s 95th birthday today! We salute you Mr Mandela and wish you all the best! AMPS spent 67 minutes of celebration for Madiba’s service by collecting R5 coins and donating all the proceeds to the less fortunate. All the learners came downstairs and put their coins in the shape of “Madiba” We all stood together and sang Happy Birthday as a school!

Special thanks to Mrs Hatton and her daughter Casandra who dropped off blankets for the up and coming chilly winter. These will hopefully be used to keep some little hands and feet just that little bit warmer during the colder days.

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!

tags

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!

We all had a great time at the Fun Day. Despite the threatening weather the day went very well and we didn’t get cooked by the sun which was a bonus. The Ghost house was very fun and everybody got wet, kids…and teachers…

Thanks to the staff who helped ensure the day went off well without too many problems (despite 800+ wet children running around) Thank you to the parents who supported the event by letting children participate.
