Lets celebrate Father day
Only for mothers
Dear Mothers,
As we are celebrating Father's Day on 21st June Sunday,  Espalier School has an activity planned for your child.Very often father child bond is underestimated.Mostly fathers are busy in making the ends meet and working hard to provide a comfortable life to family.In their struggle they miss the magical moments of bonding and care.To acknowledge the great role of father in a family and to give them moments of comfort and togetherness , we have planned a special activity.On Saturday, before going go bed, ask your child to press their father's legs. This unexpected gesture of our dear Children will lighten & brighten up the moments and develop a special bonding between the child and the father.
Lets celebrate Father's day... 
Note:-
If the child's father is not present at home due to varied reasons then, the child can do this activity  either with  his/her grandfather or mother.
