Grade R students and teacher at Setholela Primary School
11-20-2008
Dear All,
Please find attached some pictures we took today at Setholela Primary School near our home.
This is the kindergarten classroom you renovated for them. In South Africa we call this Grade ‘R’. The lady in the beautiful Brown dress is the principal of the school.
The books are winners. We will write more soon.
Kind regards,
Laura and Andrew.
