On Friday 8 November Richmond School held their Gala Celebrations. We were celebrating and thanking our community for all their support over the years. It was held at Richmond School from 4:30 to 6:30pm, it was a twilight gala. Everything at the gala was free. Richmond School has been open for 138 years, so old teachers and pupils came to celebrate with us. Everyone showed up from room three. Richmond school was opened 1875-2013. Our school used to be across the road by the park before it was on this land.
Earlier in the day, Room three had to get all the seats and tables out from the hall and class. We set up an outdoor cafe.There were two bouncy castles, the cheap skate people came and there were ride on jeeps as well. These are the people I know that came my Uncle Dan, Alize, Alizes sister, and Alizes brother, my Aunty, my Uncle Dame, Alizes Taua, Alizes Uncle T, Alizes Poua, Alizes Pouas mum Kay, Alizes Uncle Browny, De-Ellah, De-Ellahs Mum, and De-Ellahs Dad, my Mum, and my dad.
The food we gave out was candy floss, popcorn, ice blocks, water, juice, muffins, coffee, tea, fruit, sausage sizzle, meat pattie, sandwiches and bacon butties. It was all free to thank the parent helpers that helped us through the years.
My Mum, Dad and my Uncle helped put the chairs in the hall and in the class at the end and I helped stack them.
My Dad went on a stake board and he just about fell off.
I felt good about the gala because everything was free and I got to see my mum fall over and I got to go on a skateboard. I saw my friends like Tom and Noa. I got to race my uncle and I won once.it was a good night.
