The Family Place in Weyburn held a very special party for their students last week.

It was a magical morning in the Mini Go program as Disney's Elsa, Merida, Belle, and Beast all visited the children at the Royal Tea Party.

"In our Mini Go program we usually do quite a bit more activities with the children throughout the year than we're currently allowed to do with COVID-19 restrictions," explained Dawn Gutzke, Executive Director with The Family Place in Weyburn. "So what we've been trying to do is just make daily classes fun and exciting for the kids. So the teachers were doing a Disney themed week and we have all of the Disney costumes here at The Family Place. So we just had some staff members dress up as some princesses and Beauty and the Beast and we surprised the kids with a royal ball upstairs."

The Family Place used to run their Royal Ball as a local Fundraiser. However, this year they have had to make some changes due to the pandemic.

"So we actually have all of the costumes and we've never done one here at The Family Place with the kids," Gutzke stated. "So we thought it would be something fun and during these times when it might be less exciting for the kids, we thought we'd try to make their days more fun. Just seeing the kids' faces staring at us and they really enjoyed the dancing. The kids were really just in awe. It's not every day that they see princesses walk into The Family Place."

The Family Place staff are now optimistically looking forward at 2021 and planning for a busy and exciting year for the kids.

"So we're just trying to think outside of the box about what we can do within the community to just help people get through these times," added Gutzke. "So on Tuesday this week we're taking the children outside in their snow gear and we're actually going to play on the front yard of Hill Top Manor. And then we can just have the seniors watch out the window and have a morning of enjoyment watching the children play in the snow, and build some snowmen, and wave through the windows to try and bring some community cheer to them. We'll definitely be there playing at 10:30 AM."
