Shine Bright Lockington Kinder News Lockington News

Term Two commenced with lots of busy and little people returning to kinder. Many of the rural families farewelled their children, as the began to catch the morning bus. This was an exciting and new experience for many children. The Kinder was also involved in the local Tractor Rally by holding a cake stall. Thank you to those people who baked, helped on the day or purchased the goodies. The money raised will be used to fix and replace outdoor equipment.

A beautiful afternoon tea was held for Mother’s Day on the 9th May. Children spoiled their mothers with hand massage, neck rub, necklace, baked goods and a personalised gift. Mothers left feeling special and re-energised for the remainder of the week.

The Regional Health Dental Service visited the Kinder on Thursday 16th May. Children had their teeth checked and were taught about the importance of oral hygiene. Thank you, ladies, for your patience and time.

LOCKINGTON LIONS CLUB

The Lockington Lions Club held a Swap meet and Market Day last Sunday and it was a great day. 48 stall holders, great food and beautiful weather all contributed to this success.

Many traders were happy with their day, but it was a shame that not many locals came out to have a look and snap up a bargain. I would like to thank all lion members for their help and enthusiasm to make a successful day.
