The P&C loved hosting Tea & Tissues yesterday as we welcomed our new Kindergarten families into our school community 🌈 and it was also lovely to see so many familiar faces. Thank you so much for coming along. We hope you felt the warmth and support on what can be a big first day 💕
🧁✨ We even had emoji cupcakes, so parents could choose the one that best matched how they were feeling… excited, nervous, happy, teary, or a bit of everything! 😍😵‍💫🥹🥲😬😊
We hope everyone had a great first day, and we’re so happy to be starting this journey together 💛
