Last Day of School Carnival

The last day of school, they have a big carnival type event. Games, candy, corndogs, water balloons, popsicles, more games... it was a great time!

Since it's our first year at school, we never have any idea what we sign up for, but they needed help, so the kids and I manned the candy-in-a-haystack station. (Pretty self-explanitory, right!)

The kids loved helping hide the candy AND diving in themselves.

I was busy timing kids in the haystack all afternoon. At one point I walked over to Nate and realized he was enjoying the piles of free candy.... a lot!

Popcorn!

This was a really cool event! I still feel like we're learning the ropes of this school and how everything works, but the carnival was such a great picture of what the small school is - Kids were running around playing games, dads took work off to be at the event with their family, there were even several grandparents who showed up to volunteer at stations and play with the grandkids. I talked to a lot of the teachers, volunteers and parents. It was a fun end of the year celebration for everyone!

James is looking forward to being in the Kindergarten class and Nate is so excited to be in Mrs. Benjamin's Pre-K class in the Fall!
