Hodgesville Elementary School celebrated the last day of school with a Family Fun Day. The rainy morning weather did not dampen spirits as there were all kinds of exciting activities inside the school building. The fun also moved outside when the afternoon sun appeared. Students, teachers, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and both older and younger siblings came to enjoy a great day together. There were large costumes of cartoon characters (worn by middle school and high school family members), many game centers,a bounce house, karakoe singing, pedaled go-carts, over sized soccer balls, and a bottle rocket launcher to list a few of the many activities. We enjoyed celebrating with our families as a way to kick off the summer vacation. Viewing the photos below, you can see that everyone had a wonderful time.
