On the 15th of June all junior girls of DSG had a fund raising. All the girls were made to walk, or run around the sportsfield. The parents and others could donate a sum or sponsor each lap the girls ran. Fred and I, not knowing how long a lap would be, gladly put down R20 per lap, each!!! Grade 0 also had a theme, they dressed in pj's and takkies and dressing gowns.
Well, when Elle had ran 4 laps in the first 25 minutes we panicked a bit. We made her take a break, a donut seemed to be in order. She and her friend ate it with a good appetite and then sort of lost interest in the running. All and all, Elle ran 7 laps times 20 times two ended up in the sum of R280. Not bad and we still had a decent budget for our holiday during the long weekend. :)
The girls are preparing for start
Full throttle!
We started the day with the girls in Chapel. They sang and there was a short sermon, at the right level for the small girls. We really enjoyed it. Afterwards we walked around the schoolground and took some photos. It's such a beautiful school. While waiting for the little girls to arrive to the sportsfield, The Old Girls, women once attended DSG set up a table with coffee, tea, cakes, donuts and savoury pies. We had a wonderful morning in the sun!
