The end of the year picnic follows the end of the year awards. We gather in the gym and recognize students for their performances and academic progress. We recognize athletes for their accomplishments as well as students with perfect attendance.
We had a gorgeous day this Friday. The picnic began at noon and was held on the beach area by the rivers edge. The ice had not gone out yet so there was a coolness complimented by the hot sunshine. We had a super turnout of community and parents.
The time to gather and visit is always fun as you roast a hot dog over the fire. People talk about their summer plans.
Many times there is a game of eskimo baseball. This years picnic saw a very involved game that went on for about 2 hours with the players ranging from 1st graders all the way through adults.
There was also the parachute and a tug of war rope to play with.
The fire truck was brought down so the water tank could be drained out and freshened up with a new load!
The weather was spectacular and people relaxed and enjoyed the time to visit.
The picnic wound down around 3 pm. I gave Carrie a ride to see our new school site before getting her up to the airport to catch her flight back to Unalakleet.
