Thank you Mothers

Our ReadingChallenge met Women's Day
Moms read captivating books to our eager learners. These stories not only entertained but also conveyed powerful messages about the importance of reading!
Musical Notes, Women in the Arts!
Some talented mothers played musical instruments, filling our corridors with delightful melodies.
Cupcakes and flowers to Celebrate!
In our early years classes, mothers enjoyed sweet moments with their children, sharing flowers, cup-cakes, and creating lasting memories. These seemingly small gestures strengthen our bonds as a school community.
Celebrating the Women behind Discovery!
And lastly, our dedicated team joined the celebration by dressing in white, purple, and green—the colors symbolizing empowerment, creativity, and growth. High-fives were exchanged, and laughter echoed as they appreciated each other’s commitment to our students. A shared pastry and a single flower reminded us of the beauty in collaboration and the impact we make every day.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
