wednesday preview

I spent a lovely Thursday morning out at Cameron Park Elementary School last week for their Earth Day celebration. I'm glad the weather held out for them because the kids I saw seemed to be having a lot of fun. I was able to take a whole bunch of pictures of the Cameron Park kids and the Partnership Academy students who came to help out.

Here are a few of my favourites (for more, click on the blue and yellow button on the right side of www.newsoforange.com that says "Click HERE to See and Buy Photos!" or, better yet, pick up Wednesday's News of Orange):


This photo is of Megan Bishop, 8, Bobbie Fisher, Samantha Leija, 8, Max Norwood, 8, and Will Alexander, 9, playing marbles. A lot of the games they had going at Earth Day were a little "old timey." It was nice to see kids getting in to low-tech games, like jacks, marbles and hula hoops.


Here, Bobbie Fisher shows Partnership Academy student Brandon Allen, 13, how to shoot marbles, so he can teach the Cameron Park students himself. Brandon said he was having a good time.


This last picture shows Earth Day footprints students made. These ones led out to the outdoor activities on the blacktop.
