Learners from Grade R to Grade 2 enjoyed the Easter celebration with the Pick n Pay School Club at Bordeaux Primary School on April 14.
Bunny surprised learners at the school when delivering hot-cross buns and Easter eggs. The learners also taught him the Hint-Hatch-Hop dance they’ve learnt and he selected a lucky learner to receive a special Easter hamper.
The celebration was part of the Pick n Pay School Club Easter Drive that they do annually as Easter treats can be a luxury for many learners. About 12 schools were visited across South Africa ahead of Easter to bring nearly 3 500 learners from Grade R to Grade 2 Easter eggs and hot- cross buns, as well as stationery packs. The celebration organised by the club with the Pick n Pay Randburg Square distributed 335 parcels for learners to enjoy.
Lulama Qwenga, Pick n Pay School Club liaison officer said it was their second year since they started the Easter campaign. “We identify schools that are part of our programme and celebrate with them,” he said.
The School Club is an influential and dynamic public-private educational platform. Workbooks, posters, recognition stickers, certificates and other learner, teacher and support materials are provided to schools for free through this programme.
The store’s manager at the Randburg Square, William Machete, said the campaign was part of their corporate social investment (CSI) initiatives where they sponsored events and institutions that may need their help. “This is to show support to the community that we also care and we thank them for supporting us,” he said.
