π¨π BIRTHDAY WEEK HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN! ππ¨
Why celebrate a birthday for ONE day when you can make an entire WEEK out of it? ππ
With a certain VERY special, VERY BIG birthday coming up on Wednesday, the RHS staff decided that Miss Venter simply wasnβt getting away with just one day of celebrations. ππ
Soβ¦ Birthday Week it is! π₯³
And this morning, the staff decided to kick off Monday with just a little bit of funβ¦ because apparently we believe in easing our Principal gently into the realisation that Wednesday is coming. πππ
Miss Venter, consider this your official warning:
π The week has started.
π The staff have plans.
π©· Wednesday is getting closer.
π And we are only getting startedβ¦
π§ Halfacen....
Happy Birthday Week, Ms V! π₯³π
