D’Arcy School students entertain at Mother’s Day Tea

By Joan Janzen

The students at D’Arcy Elementary School treated their audience of moms and grammas to an excellent array of air band performances. Thanks to the choreography provided by the teaching staff and the students’ obvious excitement to get on stage, the afternoon tea on May 8th was a total success.

Students from kindergarten to Grade 6, participated in seven air band routines, which was quite an accomplishment for the student population of 24. While each group or solo performer was on stage, the remaining students were on the sidelines happily singing along.

Principal James Walker was the MC for the afternoon, introducing the entertainment and periodically announcing the winners of twelve door prizes. There was an abundance of tasty treats on the tables, provided by Malory Cormack, and the students gifted each mom with a fresh flower.

After the tea, everyone was invited to the library to browse at the craft sale, and purchase candles, bracelets, key chains and many more products provided by the Grade 4 to 6 students.

The afternoon was everything the moms and grammas could have asked for. Hats off to the staff and students for welcoming all the moms to D’Arcy School for a fun afternoon.
