to the grade 8 farewell party

time:  6 pm to 9 pm

place:  windsor pavilion

date: thursday, june 26, 2014

it was a beautiful night for a party.

so many came to celebrate the end of grade 8 and the start of summer.

 the boys came ready for a quick game of soccer...

(we had to lure them to the party somehow)

and all the girls were beautiful with their summer dresses on ! ! !

very few were shy of the camera that night !!!

all were ready to get a picture taken with their bff -iest of friends...

and of course the chaperons were the least camera shy of all !!!

there were soooo  much yummy treats to munch on....

everyone got a bite to eat...

then headed to the dance floor !!!

the lights had to be dimmed... 

to get the full effect of the strobe and the glow sticks !!!!

our very own nima...did a spectacular job as d.j.

because the place rocked !!!

when the clock struck..."time to go home"...

everyone made sure to leave their mark...

on the signature sheet.

there were no goodbye tears this special night...

only loads and loads of great memories to keep !!!

getting ready to... (part 1)

we had the time,

we had a venue,

we had some money,

and boy oh boy, did we have the capacity !!!

when it came down to gathering our collective energies to put together a party, 

some amazing moms and children from lansdowne middle school showed what they got.

with the school year ending with an abrupt halt...

all the farewell ceremonies for the graduating grade 8s were cancelled

so a group of moms took it upon themselves to put together a celebratory farewell.

banners were made...

balloons were blown and hung...

pom poms were poofed and puffed...

garlands were strung...

the school colours are blue and yellow... 

so festive, so happy and just perfect for a cheerful backdrop

don't you think???

the food was bought...

and table clothes were spread...

flowers were vased...

and the tables were set....

the yummy grad cakes were lovingly homebaked...

and no, you are not seeing double... 

henrietta made two !!!

and just like that....

all our effort made it seem as simple as a twitch of our noses,

we were ready....

for the magic to begin
