Volunteering

Every year, Maelie's school holds a little assembly and either tea or lunch for all parents who have volunteered throughout the year. Not too many show up because it is a lunch during a weekday, and not everone can get away from work. But I always make the effort to take time off to go, even if it costs me vacation time!



The kids from different grades have poems for us on stage, and on grade played a song on the recorder. A few classes made some art.




After the little ceremony, they invited us into the library where a yummy luncheon was served!



These flowers were gorgeous and I could just smell them a mile away even with a plugged nose!

It's great to volunteer, but it's also great to be acknowledged for it. i think this is such a great idea on behalf of the school & the kids. i don't remember us doing anything similar when we were kids. Do you ?

Good job, Jen, for your implication !
