Throughout 2020, The Gympie Times asked readers to not only nominate their top choices in a range of categories, but help crown the best of the best.
These are the business and educational leaders who claimed these crowns this year.
Pharmacy
The cityâs main street was home to the regionâs favourite pharmacy, a title dispensed to Good Price Pharmacy, which took out more than a third of the vote.
A note from Milestones Gympie South:
The children celebrated their graduation On Wednesday the 9th of December, they performed the cha-cha Slide and their phonics song for their families (they practised for four months) they smashed it on the night and were all awesome.
They then all received their graduation certificate and had a party with a sausage sizzle and cake for everyone.
The children gave their parents a gift with a poem thanking them for all they do for them and the children received a gift from their teachers.
We try to make graduation as special as possible to celebrate the childrenâs achievements and to show them how proud their teachers are of them and how much we will miss them but looking forward to having them visit us to show us their new school uniforms and tell us all about their new teachers and schools.
