New Berlin Hosts Annual Grandparent's Tea

There was plenty of love, tea, and cookies at the annual Grandparents Tea that was held at New Berlin Elementary on Friday, September 9. Over 550 grandparents and students gather in the school cafeteria for a time of sharing. Students honored their grandparent by presenting them with a special card and singing the Grandparent's Song. Principal Wanda Reese read the story; Love you Forever by Robert Munsch. A heartwarming story about the love a mother has for her child and the cycle of life. Tears were seen throughout the cafeteria as students and grandparents listened to the story.

Grandparents were honored for having the most grandchildren at New Berlin, for driving the farthest, and for being the oldest grandparent. Each winner received a $15.00 gift card. They were thanked for volunteering at New Berlin and for being positive role models in the lives of the grandchildren. The tea ended by students giving their grandparents a hug and a kiss before reporting back to class.
