Concert Success
Parent Involvement
Our teachers organized a small school concert. In this concert, students used their abilities and skills to perform for others.
Palathuduwa’s Grama Niladhari (village officer) also attended the concert. Her daughter is a former student of Palathuduwa Preschool. The Grama Niladhari brought some books and pencils as present for the children.
Parents prepared small treats for all concert attendees and the children who performed in the event. Parents helped make the concert a success from start to finish.
