On May 9th, Chief Old Sun Elementary School hosted a heartwarming Mother’s Day Tea event, a beautiful occasion that brought together students, parents, and teachers to celebrate the incredible mothers who play a vital role in the lives of the children. The event not only honored these wonderful women but also created a memorable experience filled with joy, entertainment, and community spirit.
A Rose for Every Mom
As part of the event, each mother in attendance was presented with a rose, symbolizing the love and appreciation that students and staff have for the women who nurture and support them. This small but meaningful gesture set the tone for the entire celebration, where gratitude was shared throughout the day.
In addition to the roses, attendees were treated to a slice of pizza and a warm cup of tea, providing a perfect opportunity for mothers to relax, socialize, and enjoy each other’s company in a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The combination of good food and tea made for a delightful midday break that everyone cherished.
Entertainment and Fun
One of the highlights of the afternoon was the live performance by the Natosapi Singers, whose stunning music entertained and uplifted the crowd. The group’s performance added an extra layer of cultural richness and joy to the event, showcasing the talents of local performers and giving the celebration a unique touch.
The event also included an exciting raffle with a range of prizes that kept everyone on their toes. The raffles added an element of fun and surprise, giving guests the chance to win some great items while contributing to the sense of community spirit.
A Marketplace of Love
In addition to the entertainment, several vendors were set up at the event, offering a variety of Mother’s Day gifts for those looking for the perfect present. From handmade jewelry to personalized trinkets, the marketplace provided a wonderful opportunity for attendees to find something special for the mothers in their lives. The presence of local vendors not only supported small businesses but also enhanced the overall celebratory atmosphere.
A Special Moment with Grade 1 Students
A particularly sweet moment of the day occurred when we were invited to witness Grade 1 students making cookies for their mothers. The children worked hard, mixing, rolling, and shaping the dough with smiles on their faces, eager to create a sweet treat for the women they hold dear. The laughter and excitement from the students added an extra layer of warmth to the event, leaving everyone with memories that will surely last a lifetime.

It was a celebration not only of mothers but also of the vibrant community that makes the school such a special place. From the thoughtful gifts to the lively entertainment, every detail was designed to honor the amazing women who make a difference in the lives of their children.
