Thursday March, 4 saw a special visitor hop into the Charterhouse School to help the Johannesburg Mini-Councillors (JMC) promote their Easter egg collection drive.
The Charterhouse School’s JMC and the Easter Bunny are working together to make a difference this Easter.
The school is currently gathering their forces to collect marshmallow Easter eggs in support of the annual Easter initiative of the JMC.
These eggs are distributed to various charities including orphanages and old age homes. Previous collections totalled between 8 000 and 10 000 eggs.
“Our goal this year is to smash the 10k mark and do so much better than the previous times,” said one of our JMC members, Sarah Hutt.
Charterhouse Preparatory Principal, Desmond Zeelie dressed up as the Easter Bunny to encourage kids to get involved in this initiative, leaving the whole school to guess who was in the bunny suit.
He took the time to visit all the classrooms in the school and provided a bit of entertainment with a little dance and words of encouragement.
The JMC has been effecting change in the lives of our youth for over four decades, with a specific focus on Grade 7 learners, as the leadership lessons they learn are invaluable to their future development.
