Stoneridge feeding scheme receives food donations
Stoneridge Primary School received a donation of tinned and non-perishable foods for the school’s feeding scheme.
EDEN PARK – Jerseys4Jozi and Black-Mix Communications paid a visit to the school on Thursday, July 30, to deliver the donation.
The collection of tinned food was inspired by Edna Kauyla Peterson (10), a grade five learner, who was tasked with raising funds for the feeding scheme and the erection of a steel structure which will eventually become the school hall.
