R15 000 each windfall for eight local schools
Each school received a voucher for R15 000
EIGHT local primary schools received a windfall from Cashbuild Cavendish Glen at the store’s opening on August 28.
The schools were each awarded a Cashbuild building materials voucher for R15 000. Cashbuild building material vouchers totaling R120 000 were presented to all eight schools.
All these schools were chosen as the winners of the Cashbuild Art-at-Heart Competition.
Among other repairs and refurbishment plans, the Cavendish Glen schools will use their vouchers to extend classrooms, replace taps and toilet seats as well as repaint the schools.
At the official store opening ceremony the learners entertained everyone with singing, cultural dances and theatrical performances.
The Cashbuild Art-at-Heart Competition entails learners from each school submitting their best artwork to Cashbuild. This artwork was displayed at the ceremony and will remain on display in the store for the next five years.
Artwork was judged and three winners from each school were named. Winners received Cashbuild Art-at-Heart gold, silver and bronze certificates for first, second and third place respectively.
The Manager’s Choice Award was presented to the overall winner, Breyden Greyvenstein from Laerskool Impala. This award was announced on the day and the winner received a stationery pack and glass trophy.
