The seventh 2007-2008 Saturday Fun and Learning Day sponsored by Heads Up, GEAR UP and the Parent-Educator Resource Center was held Saturday, March 15th at Calhoun Middle-High School.
Breakfast was served to all participants and then parents attended a session conducted by the Parent-Education Resource Center entitled Loving Guidance.
Although the weather did not cooperate to have an Easter egg hunt outside, the children played Easter games while their parents attended the informational session and after reuniting everyone, the parents and children made several Easter and St. Patrick's Day crafts before enjoying lunch catered by the middle school booster organization.
There were over 109 students and 70 parents in attendance on Saturday with the following parents winning door prizes - $20 Pit Stop gift cards from Heads Up, Jessica Bell, Shena Heiney, April Petrovsky and Sabrina Whytsell. Winner of the bucket of cleaning supplies donated by GEAR UP was Lelia Gregory.
Parents and children who attend five of the eight sessions are eligible for a trip to Idlewild Park in spring 2008.
The next Saturday Fun and Learning Day is Saturday, April 19th. If you have questions - contact Jean Simers, Heads Up Coordinator at 354-7595.
