Parents, family members and members of the community lined up outside of the Isabella Dicken Elementary School’s gym for the annual Spring Tea fundraiser.
Drawing hundreds of individuals throughout the community, the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) fundraiser, held on May 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. was once again a huge success.
“It’s a great community event,” coordinator Nicole Heckendorf said, adding that around 600 people attended the event this year. “It’s really an all ages event and a great fundraiser.”
Grade six students helped seat guests, serving them coffee and tea along with cheese and cracker plates.
A bake sale also took place alongside the afternoon tea, with guests lining up to purchase cupcakes, cookies, brownies and other baked goods.
With the Spring Tea happening just a few days before Mother’s Day, guests had the opportunity to enter in a Mother’s Day draw, where prizes from Lysh, Loaf Bakery & Restaurant and several other local shops were donated.
Complementing both the tea and bake sale was the elementary school’s annual Spring Book Sale, where students were encouraged to purchase books.
