Midmar marvels and relay rumbles

Issued by Vryheid High School

WE would like to congratulate all our learners who participated in the Midmar Mile over the weekend of 11 and 12 February.  A special mention to two of our grade 12 learners, Karl Kohlmeyer and Kirsten Verschuuren, who both completed their second 8 miler event.

They would like to thank the Vryheid community, as well as all friends and families, for their generous and loyal support. This enabled them to raise R10 000 for their respective charities. Well done, Kirsten and Karl.
