Father’s Day at Lollipops Newton Rd
27 August 2018
“One day is not enough to honour how special of a father you truly are because you are amazing every day of the year. Thank you for all that you do. I love you!”
In this busy world, we sometimes forget to say what's in our hearts. But today seemed perfect for little ones how much their dads always mean to them. To honour and respect the time, care, compassion, love, and strength fathers give to their children, we celebrated father’s Day. Our little ones presented their special ‘thank you’ gifts to their dads and spent a quality time in the classroom while enjoying with their friends as well.
We are very grateful to our whanau to spare their precious time with us and participating in the event with great enthusiasm.
