🎈👨👩👧👦 Visitation Day at Glorious – The Day of Surprises and Sparkles! 🌟📚
Ahhh… Visitation Day! That one special day in the school term when butterflies fill the tummies of Glorious pupils more than beans and posho ever could! 🦋😂
From the moment the calendar whispers, “Visitation Day is coming,” the whole school goes into Operation Impress the Parents. Desks are dusted like they’re going to be in a furniture advert, pencils are sharpened like little swords, and books—oh yes—books are arranged in neat, proud towers that say, “Look, Mum! Look, Dad! I actually do my work!” 📖✨
You’d think a celebrity was coming… well, actually, to these pupils, Mum and Dad ARE the celebrities. 😄🎬
Before the parents even step in, the classrooms are transformed into warm and welcoming homes. The chalkboards wear cheerful greetings like,
“Welcome, Dear Parents!”
“We Love You!”
Or the classic,
“You’re the Best!”
Written in colourful chalk with smiley faces, hearts, and sometimes a wonky flower or two drawn by the class artists. 🌺✍️
And the outfits? Let’s not even go there. Pupils iron their uniforms like they’re heading to meet the Queen. Some even add a little extra gel to their hair or sneak a flower into their breast pocket for flair. The goal: to impress!
Now, let’s talk about the morning of the Big Day. The school buzzes with energy like a beehive. Pupils keep peeking out the windows.
“Is that my mummy’s car?”
“No, that’s a school van.”
“Wait! My dad wears a shirt like that!”
“Bro, half the dads in Uganda wear that shirt!”
😂😂
The first parent to arrive causes a wave of excitement. “They’ve started coming!” one pupil yells, and suddenly, everyone wants to clean one last time, straighten their tie again, or check their smile in the window reflection.
And then the magic begins…
When the parents finally arrive, it’s hugs and wide grins everywhere! Pupils rush to carry their parents’ bags (even when they’re empty!) and guide them proudly to their classrooms like trained tour guides. Some even whisper, “Start from my English book, it’s the neatest!”
And the best part? The smiles on the parents’ faces when they see all the hard work, the effort, and the pride in their child’s eyes. It’s not just a visit. It’s a celebration of growth, learning, and love.
When it’s time to leave, it’s hugs and goodbyes. Some pupils cling to their parents a little longer.
And honestly? No exam result can match the joy of seeing your parent smile and say,
“I’m proud of you.” 💖
