Family Activity Day

Today we hosted a special event at school known as Family Activity Day! Families from preschool through high school arrived eager to begin today's competition. About 20 stations were set up around the school campus, each emphasizing teamwork and camaraderie. Whether is was walking across the basketball court with everyone's ankles tied together, or setting a record time for the obstacle course, or building a bridge out of newspapers, everyone was involved to achieve a common goal. Families were awarded a specific number of points for each challenge they accomplished, and the family with the most points at the end of 2 hours won a pizza from Papa Johns! On top of that, if all the families involved were able to earn enough points collectively, the entire school would get an extra day of vacation in May! Here are a few pictures from today's festivities!

Afterwards, our director talked about teamwork using a duffle bag and balloons.  Together we can do more!
