From the School Easter Egg Hunt
Launton Easter Egg Hunt
On Sunday 24 March the long-standing annual Easter Egg Hunt took place on the school field. It was dry and bright for the whole event and hundreds of children and their families searched the school field for painted stones which they were able to exchange for Easter eggs kindly donated by the village. A wet start to the year meant the field hasn’t yet been mown which made for an egg-stratricky challenge in the long grass, however the children were undeterred and went away happy with their prizes. Some were lucky enough to find one of the 4 silver stones to receive hampers and goodies donated by IMS Property Group and one eagle eyed child spotted the single gold stone and she was able to exchange it for an extra special bag of goodies kindly donated by Stone Lily Hair Salon (see photo of the winner below).
The Easter Bunny was in attendance and a firm favourite with some younger visitors. Face painting, refreshments, games and colouring were also on offer.
The Friends of Launton School would like to extend a huge thank you to the village for supporting this event. A team of parent and child volunteers collected over 350 eggs and cash donations on the evening of 15 March. These donations are a huge contributor to the success of the event and enables it to be one of our biggest fundraisers every year. The funds go toward the enhancement of the school environment which benefits the current and future children of the school. Many thanks and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
Here are some photos from the event below.
