CGS: Celebrating moms and families a little extra these days

A spring update from Children’s Garden School

Earlier this month, Mother’s Day and International Day of Families marked a celebratory week for the CGS parents. All of their students spent time crafting and enjoyed expressing their love and gratitude through fun homemade gifts like potted plants, personally designed tote bags, origami bouquets, rainbow painted hearts, and mom letter glazed photos perfect for the mantle. The Early Starts hosted a party for their moms with some songs, gift giving and treats, while other classes presented their special gifts at drop off and pick up.

On Mother’s Day they encourage the celebration of all the mothers in our lives; the one who gave birth to us, the one who adopted us, the one we picked to be our mother or who volunteered to step up for the role, the mother figures through our aunts, grandmothers, friends, or foster mothers.

On International Day of Families is to celebrate and appreciate all members of the family in one wonderful day. It is a day we celebrate the importance of families, people, society, and cultures around the world. Its aim is to raise awareness of issues relating to families across the globe, while giving attention to the fact that families are the basic unit of a society.

Both days are such an important day to express gratitude and love for those who we hold most dear to our hearts.

Please enjoy the photos of the CGS students crafting with love for their dearests.
