Secret scarves to brighten up Keyes Avenue
St Teresa’s School in Rosebank knits scarves for those in need.
For Nelson Mandela Day this year, St Teresa’s Senior Primary School in Rosebank has partnered with 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day.
This partnership is for their Secret Scarf Mission coming up on July 6, to brighten up Keyes Avenue and make woolen scarves available to those in need.
St Teresa’s School computer educator and marketing liaison Lianda May reported that Susan Symondson, mother to twins Aurelia and Octavia in Grade 5, arranged for wool to be donated to the school for this mission. Under the guidance of Grade 5 educator and Needlework Club coordinator, Marianne Bam, the girls have been taught to knit and crochet basic scarves.
They started making scarves at the end of first term in April and have been knitting and crocheting ever since. They have also encouraged family and friends and the high school girls to get involved.
“This week the Needlework Club and some volunteers tied approximately 150 tags to the scarves received so far and more wool has been delivered to the school for those still wanting to knit a scarf. If anyone in the community would knit and drop off a scarf, we would welcome all contributions toward this worthy cause,” said May.
Details: St Teresa’s Senior Primary School is located at 18 Keyes Avenue in Rosebank.
