School visit to primary school

What a reception we received at all schools. A common theme stated by the educators was we were treated like "rock stars". We received warm welcomes lots of hugs, were shown well rehearsed and beautiful performances, and excellent students creating their specialized craft. At the first primary school this was paper cutting! We then saw a performance by kindergarteners, third graders and the dance troop We truly were treated like royalty. Overall, the students were like any students. Full of excitement, eager to meet us and kids.
