A big thank you to MMID for the Easter Party !
Each year during Easter the MMID hosts a fun function for all the
children in the area. Once again an invitation was extended to our
children to join in the Easter party festivities. Our children attended
the Easter party held by the MMID during the last week of term –
25th March. The day started off slightly overcast but the eventually
the children did get to enjoy the wonderful sunshine.
They had the opportunity to play games, soccer on the inflatable field
and to slip n slide. They ate hot dogs during the party and received
cold drink. They all received a super gift and an Easter egg each
which the kids loved!
It was such a lovely day and once again we thank the MMID and in
particular Thalia, Kathy and their team for making the day so special.
