ANNUAL SPRING DAY: RANDPARK PRIMARY SCHOOL

GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!

MAXMOM here...

(The children welcome the Headmaster onto the stage)

Hello there to all my friends around the world.
A particular welcome to my new visitors today!

Each year, for the past 16 years I have been involved, in one way or another, with the annual "Spring Day"
 for our local primary school:

RANDPARK PRIMARY SCHOOL

in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Each year, I am overwhelmed by the generosity of parents and the joy of their children, as they offer their floral gifts to the school to distribute to various old-age villages. 

 
 
 It is always such a pleasure and privilege to be involved in the transportation of some of the boxes of flowers to the selected villages.

It really is a special day, because I get to see both sides of this incredible gesture.  On the one hand, I watch the beautiful children as they bring their gifts to school and celebrate in their assembly.

  Later, after piles of bouquets have been packed into my car, I get to witness the joy of the folk, on the other end of my trip, who get to receive their gifts. 

Today's post and photographs are mainly for the benefit of those special parents who have made the day possible - simply by their overwhelming generosity.  Most of these parents are unable to attend these assemblies and probably never get to experience their own childrens' special Spring Day. 

 I am sure my readers around the world won't mind if I dedicate this blogpost to the wonderful people who are part of the
RANDPARK PRIMARY SCHOOL COMMUNITY.

So here we go with the photographs...

 (Civvies day...No school uniforms today!)

(Don't you just LOVE that hat!)

I'm sure it won't be out of place for me to say a special"Thank-you", on behalf of all the recipients of the beautiful flowers:

Thank you  to all the parents who made this special day possible!
Thank you for your generosity and your love!

  Thanks you to Mrs Sandy Mol - the music teacher - who put the whole Spring Day together.

Thank you too, to the headmaster and teachers of the school.

And finally...

"Thank you to all the children, who brought all the beautiful flowers to school.
You have made some old people very happy indeed"

What a way to celebrate Spring!

Sending lotsaluv to everyone and wishing you a wonderful weekend.
