Each parent received information including a bookmark donated by Sheriff Carl Ballengee. Each child received a coloring book about Internet safety also donated by Sheriff Ballengee.
Students enjoyed activities in the gym while their parents were in training. The children and their parents spent the rest of the morning creating scrapbooks utilizing the pictures that are taken of each child on Saturday Fun and Learning Days.
