| Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Big News for Foundation Phase!
On Monday the first phase of the new playground for foundation phase students opened! The children were excited to try out the monkey bars, fireman’s pole, additional swings, playhouse, spiral slide, tunnel, bridges and more! There are a few more pieces we’d like to add, but are thankful to have the additional place to learn through play!

Looking Ahead
As we all know we’re getting near the end of the year. We will be closing on the 6th of December.
Next year school will reopen on the 12th of January, as this is a Friday, learners will be introduced to the routine and rules of the school, get to know their classmates and teachers, and receive their textbooks. This will allow everyone to start in with study right away on Monday!

Christmas Projects
Each end of year, Bethesda promotes a fundraising project to improve either the ministry of Bethesda or of JCA. For several years these 
projects have helped to build new school classrooms such as the grade R classrooms and furnish them.
This year, we are aiming big! We are fundraising to build a new JCA school hall! This hall will be large enough for indoor sport, choir programmes, plays, and all school gatherings to name a few. There will also be an office area (looking forward to high school), kitchen, and additional classrooms. This building should set up the school to grow for several years!
If you are interested in being a part of this project or presenting the project to your company for any of their year-end donations, please contact the school office for materials. We would love to have your partnership as we seek to build this tool for continued learning and impact!
