Wedding bells ring out at school
WEDDING bells are ringing at Koroit and District Primary School.
Staff and students surprised one of their staff members early last week with a ‘fake wedding.’
Miss Cooknell is due to marry Jake Foggenburger in coming weeks and the school community decided they would like to help them celebrate.
Jake and Miss Cooknell’s parents were invited to the school last Monday week and “sworn to secrecy”.
“Miss Cooknell was adorned with 180 drawings created by students, while her parents accompanied her down the aisle to Jake,” school business manager Amie Timewell said.
“It was very entertaining; Jake wore a frog suit which reflected the student’s frequent mispronunciation of Foggenburger.
“The ceremony was officiated by Mrs Cooper, who is both a qualified celebrant and our physical education teacher.”
Staff and students were thrilled to be able to celebrate with Miss Cooknell and Jake and wish them well for their ‘real’ wedding.
