Grandparents' Day in Cregmore NS

We had a lovely day in the school on April 10th when our grandparents came to visit. We put on a concert in our school hall and we baked lots of treats for them to have with their tea and coffee. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and this day has become a highlight for us every year in the school. Below are some pictures of this event.
