Fun in our own Backyard

It was a "perfect" day in every way...today we celebrated the traditional Fun in Our Own Backyard. The day started with the opening ceremony highlighted by our own Southeast Drum Line and a core group of students who performed a hysterically funny play. We cheered, chanted, and clapped. Then students headed outside for water games and other activities. The afternoon consisted of stations with the ever-exciting bubble blowing and a homemade play dough station for the younger students. The older students played "Capture the Frisbee" and that, they did.  After the fun-filled day, Ms. Parker surprised everyone with a guest appearance by EOSmith's drum line. Everyone was amazed!  The finale was a three bucket dump over my head to the "winning" team....team 15!  Congrats to our fourth grade team leaders of the lead team,  Lucas and Ben!  It was a great day for everyone involved. 

Many thanks to the parents who volunteered their time, and the teachers involved in the planning, preparation, and execution of a noteworthy day.
