West Side Elementary had an awesome Easter fun day on Friday! Kids rotated between stations in the morning and enjoyed an Easter egg hunt in the afternoon. The Easter bunny even paid a visit to the kids!
We ended our fun day with gift cards and jelly beans for the teachers and students who guessed most closely in the guessing game!
Some of the stations students rotated through on Friday were bingo, origami, working in the garden, and catapults. Everyone had a great time, and we want to thank our parents and volunteers for helping to make it a success!
A huge thanks to Jim & Diandra Verser for allowing some of the 3rd-6th grade GT students to visit their home recently. Jim shared some great facts about flying and planes as he showed off his own plane.
