On March 23rd, Marillac enjoyed another successful Breakfast with the
Bunny, organized by Deanna Hallagan, Mrs. Cynthia Grant, and the Hope Junior
staff. About
300 people were in attendance, including some very excited
children. There were also over 20 volunteers from Old St. Pat’s
Church, who made over 115 Easter baskets to distribute to each family in
attendance. The volunteers also helped the children dye eggs, frost
and decorate cookies, and make sand art.
The
favorite part of the day were the Easter egg hunts. Babies searched
high and low in our playground, while older children looked in the
Calhoun park. In addition to associated sweet treats, some lucky
children found money hidden in the 800 plastic eggs.
The
day also included an amazing pancake breakfast, prepared by Marillac's
own dietary staff. It looked and tasted like the best restaurants
around. The children and their families also enjoyed the opportunity to
have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny.
We would like to thank all the staff and volunteers who organized this event and made this day special for our families.
