As summer softball and baseball wind down, we would like to draw attention to the several construction projects going on at and around the high school this week. To ensure safety, please use extra caution entering/exiting fields and watching children around construction areas. Thank you!
We had a great last day at summer school. We had a water day outside with pools, water balloons, and water squirters. We cooled off with popcicles, juices, and water. They also got to play with bubbles and chalk. After all the water fun we walked to the blessing box to fill it up for the community and people in need. Thanks to all of the kiddos that came and had a great time with us this summer. A special thank you to all the staff that worked and made all of this possible.
We had a busy day at summer school today. We made paper airplanes and then we went to see who could fly theirs the farthest. Then we tried to see who could fly them through a hoop. We also did some team building on which team could build the tallest tower made of paper and tape. We made some catapults and finally got to erupt our volcanoes. Tomorrow is our last day of summer school. Air Evac will be coming for a visit and we are going to have a water day outside. Please make sure that your child has a towel. We have had a blast this summer.
We had another special visitor today at summer school...... Dustin Gunning from the Harrisburg Fire Department. He taught us about all the different equipment firefighters use, how to get out of your house safely in case of a fire, and of course STOP, DROP, and ROLL. He showed us how they use the ladder and maybe we all got a little wet. The kids absolutely loved it.
We had a special visitor today at summer school..... Smokey the Bear. We learned how to keep the forest safe from wildfires, what kind of animals you can see, the importance of trees, and so much more.
