The organising team, which consisted of the principal and the teachers, elaborated on the importance of celebrating moms for showing up at all times, and for the efforts they make to attend every big or small event that the school hosts.

Hurilichia Toerien, Grade R teacher and social team member, explained why the school hosts Mother’s Day celebrations every year. “We do this to celebrate any mother figure, not mothers only. We want to show them appreciation for being the strong women they are, for what they do for the children, and also for being part of our school.”
