D’Arcy Elementary kids step into the spotlight

By Joan Janzen

D’ARCY - D’Arcy elementary school kids stepped into the spotlight Friday afternoon, May 9th to entertain the moms who came for their Mother’s Day Tea. The student body consisting of twenty students executed six air band performances ranging from country tunes to acrobatics and “Surfin’ USA”.

They used handmade cardboard guitars and surfboards which they had meticulously crafted during the week. A few of the young artists wore sunglasses, which I was told they wore all day.

Door prizes were drawn, and plants in decorative pots were presented by each student to their moms and grandmas, before the ladies enjoyed coffee and treats. Six vendors were available where the students presented a varied assortment of handmade products. Dog treats and toys, play dough, bracelets, key chains, bath salts … you name it. And what mom wouldn’t be thrilled to receive an antler for a Mother’s Day gift?
