Nieu Bethesda Outreach UP

For my NB kids, I was going to delete this page. But, I decided not to. It is a tribute to all of you and your dedication to education and to the future of this nation. This is my last post here, but it will stay in cyber-space as a tribute to all of you.

I will always be proud of you.

Thank you.

Mrs. P

Okay, I don't normally post personal stuff here. However, I thought you all would like a good laugh in the middle of exams. Younger (bite your tongues!) friends of mine are taking me to see 'Die Antwoord' tonight. Hopefully, I will be back on Monday to receive your visual diaries and portfolios...

Just heard there is snow in the Compassberg.

Sorry, we are not there to see it. I'm proud of my students and the people and teachers they are going to become. Nieu Bethesda was a great gift for us all.

For my students, I hope that you saw the value of a true teacher. It is not a 'job.' It is a vocation and a calling.

For the group that naively went outside of our comfort zone and 'tra-la-laad' up Redemption Road every morning... only to realize that statistics are for paper-pushers and politicians... I salute you.

I wish we could do more, but the most wonderful feeling in my heart is that you... the next generation have a commitment to it!

I have said before that I have never been so proud of a group of people in my life. It is still true, thank you.

Yo, kids... you are my favorite baby goats!! If your work didn't sell, I have it in my office. If it did, please make sure you e-mail me your bank details. Awesome exhibition! Am so chufft! (afk sp?) Thank you for all your hard work and dedication! YOU made this happen. YOU made this work! YOU are the future of education and we are counting on you to be examples and leaders! I have said it in as many public formats as I could. I have said it privately... I will gladly say it again... YOU rock! Well done. I AM PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH YOU! :-)

Well done! You are all that a lecturer could ask for. A fine group of young people that are interested and willing to work hard and give to others less fortunate. As people, I admire you. I believe that you will be excellent teachers and I wish I could have had you for my art teachers in matric! You are the next generation that gives me hope and compassion for this country and the world. I am so pleased, and proud, to have you in my life. You give me hope, and a sense of pride in the basic goodness of others! Thank you all for your participation in this project. I feel blessed to have been there! You rock! Good luck with exams and portfolios. Sterkte! Mrs. P

PPC YCSA Walk-about tomorrow at 11:00. Not required that you be there, but you may learn something. Things are going well, still proud of you all. Mrs. P

Congratulations, gang! The Outreach exhibition in conjunction with PPC Cement's Young Concrete Sculptor Awards opening was a huge success. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. It hopefully will help to raise awareness about Foetal Alcohol Syndrome and the other issues plaguing our communities. You guys still rock and I'm very proud of you all, whether you were on the exhibition or not! Thanks, Mrs. P

Tomorrow is the big deadline for your projects! Please show me what you have, we can tweak until Monday. Am proud of your hard work and looking forward to seeing what you have. Watch the video below and know that the most important thing we did was show some love!
