Southdowns College hosts successful biscuit drive for frontline workers
The school hopes to make a big difference with their drive and that the small token of love and appreciation will encourage the staff to persevere in their daily heroic actions.
In an attempt to show their appreciation and utter respect towards frontline workers in Pretoria, Southdowns preparatory learners hosted a biscuit drive at Netcare Unitas and Midstream Mediclinic hospitals last week.
Over the past few months many families at the school were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The learners rallied together collecting biscuits and slabs of chocolates to show their support and appreciation to frontline workers during these trying times.
Adele Holdt, a grade 5 teacher who initiated the drive, said they were overwhelmed by the Southdowns community’s generous response.
“We just wanted to show our love and appreciation to the health care workers during this trying time with our small contribution. As a school we look up to their bravery and dedication.”
