SPECIAL PERSONS DAY TEA - JUNE 3,2024

45 Studets from the Grade 5 and 6 classes at Erickson Elementary School joined with a group of older adults from the community to host a Special Persons Tea on June 3rd, 2024 in the Erickson Elementary School gym. 

The students were divided into four groups to prepare for and host the event wih the assistance and guidance of their older adult volunteers and member of the AFI committee. The first group prepared dainties 3 days prior to the event, the second group made fancy sandwiches the morning of the event, the third group made decorations and set up for the tea and the fouth group cleaned up following the tea.

The school gym was converted into a lovely spring tea setting with a beautiful china place setting for each guest. Each student invited two special people in their life to the tea and served their own guests. 

The funds aquired from the intergenerational grant from the Manitoba Association of Senior Centers made this event possible,
