Youngsters – supported by Sarah Stevenson, the senior teacher at the school – planned the event, designed and delivered invitations for it, advertised it, and prepared the picnic itself. Entertainment during the afternoon consisted of the children and residents playing board games together, and performances from some of the school’s musicians.
