The AMA Committee would like to thank everyone who participated at our Karak & Chapati Sales Day Event this past Monday! This event could not have been successful without the help of the parents, students, teachers, who volunteered their time to make it happen. We would also like to thank the ASD committee who also participated and most especially thanks to the Director of the School, Mr. Steve Razidlo, who gave moral support and visited our booth.
The event had given us a chance to feel again the good atmosphere, with the trust of the parents, the students happily participated and allowed us to gather in this small event that proves us that everything is slowly going back to our normal life.
We hope to see you again at our next event and once again, an enormous “THANK YOU” to all of you.
