Joyful celebration of love

The atmosphere was filled with warmth and excitement at Sunrise Christian School Naracoorte last Thursday, as students came together to honor their beloved grandparents. The school celebrated Grandparents Day under the heartfelt theme “Moments and Memories,” offering a beautiful glimpse into the bonds that span generations. Grandparents were warmly welcomed into classrooms where students had prepared a variety of activities—from special interviews and nostalgic photo presentations to fun board games and a lively round of giant Connect 4. The day also featured touching performances including choir renditions, piano pieces, and student-made PowerPoint tributes. Guests were treated to scones, soup, and coffee, adding a cosy, comforting touch to the celebration. It was a day marked by laughter, gratitude, and lasting connections—a true tribute to the enduring love between grandparents and grandchildren.
