Wool for Wonders Wynberg Winter Wish Wynberg girls are always looking for various ways to best benefit our community. To do this, we carried on the tradition of knitting vibrant woolen squares. These squares were sewn together into snuggly blankets for babies and toddlers. Many girls and their families went the extra mile by knitting woolen beanies and adorable little jerseys or booties. As house captains, we felt that it is important to encourage girls that it’s cool to care. Every week we fostered school spirit by having knitting circles. Here girls could learn how to knit, bond and share some laughs. We are so proud of our younger ladies for their persevering attitude, we know it was not easy but your nimble fingers and full hearts did us proud. Last year, Constantia won the Wool for Wonders knitting challenge, and this year saw Silverlea accept the challenge and successfully brought in 611 squares! Tikara Conradie in Grade 7 got her grandmother and friends to knit the most squares this year. They completed 1 430! You are a true Wynberg lady with perseverance and grit. You have shown us that a day without knitting is a day without sunshine. We would like send our sincere thanks to all the family members for availing their time and doing a superb job knitting our squares into stunning blankets. You are Wynberg Royals!
