This morning the Year 3 Mums arrived at our school from 6am to cook 255 dads and kids a father's day breakfast. This is somewhat of a tradition at our school, along with the Mother's Day Breakfast (when the dads cook for us). This morning the Dads were treated to a freshly BBQ'd bacon and egg roll, a muffin, orange juice and yoghurt. They sat at tables in the school hall with tablecloths decorated by the children. Tickets to the event included a raffle ticket and fabulous prizes were drawn at 8.15.
The poor mum who had to organise this event did an amazing job to round up a bunch of overworked, sleepy mums to cook, clean and serve. I got off relatively lightly, being assigned to watch over the tea/coffee station to make sure no-one burnt themselves (ah, the safety requirements these days). Overall, a very successful morning.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL DADS!

Well done M. Between athletic marshalling and tea/urn duty you could start a new career. I miss the days when the kids made cards and pressies for Fathers Day at school. Thank goodness for Itunes vouchers this year!
Jeez - Team Manager and now Burns Prevention Officer...you're really getting all the plum jobs at your school!
Those breakfasts are a great idea. (Although, do the *same* Mums and Dads end up doing all the work each year?)
The Father's Day breakfast is assigned to Year 3 so it's a different group each year. They are organised by the Year Coordinator and supervised by the Canteen Manager who makes sure it runs with military precision.
PS Update: we served 320 breakfasts. That's not a bad turnup from a school population of 650.
