Rush Creek Elementary School kindergarteners celebrate fall

Kindergarteners at Rush Creek Elementary School celebrated the fall season on Nov. 25 with a fall festival. Students engaged in many fall-themed activities throughout the morning of the festival-in their classrooms, hallways and cafeteria. 

The students had the opportunity to try out many activities, including leaf and pumpkin sweep, balloon volleyball, candy cane bowling, apple toss, candy corn toss, fall bingo, an obstacle course, pin the hat on the scarecrow and a candy pumpkin relay. Students could also get their face painted and get temporary tattoos. In the cafeteria, they played with pumpkin Play-Doh and made friendship bracelets.

The activity stations were run by many family volunteers. The students loved being able to see their parents/caregivers at school while participating in the fall activities. None of the activities would have been possible without the dedicated kindergarten teachers, who organized and oversaw the whole festival. 

The kindergarteners also enjoyed the festival because it allowed them to interact with students in other kindergarten classes who they wouldn’t normally see every day and meet new friends.
