Parkes Public School celebrate Mother's Day

PARKES PUBLIC SCHOOL On Wednesday, 7 May, on a lovely sunny morning, Parkes Public celebrated Mother’s Day. The hard-working P and C members held a very successful and well attended breakfast by inviting families into the school grounds so students could celebrate Mother's Day with their mums, grandmas, carers and special women in their lives. The canteen provided a delicious menu with bacon and eggs rolls, granola and yoghurt cups and pancakes on offer. Breakfast was available from 7.30am and finished up at 9.05am, when the bell went for classes to begin. This time frame allowed enough time for those who had to go to work be able to sit, relax, eat and be around great company before heading off for the day. After breakfast and when students were in class the P&C facilitated a Mother's Day stall where students could purchase a gift to the value of $5 to give to a loved one on the Sunday of Mother’s Day. Every student who purchased a gift had it wrapped up and ready to go. All the students had to do was keep a secret until they gave the gift on Sunday and that for some was a little tricky as excitement took over and gifts were received a little early or the contents of the gift was revealed. The feedback from those who attended was very positive and it was lovely to see the area filled with students and their loved ones.
