The Parks and Recreation Department’s Egg-Citing Easter Egg Dyeing and Egg Hunt was Excellent!
It was a fun filled afternoon while dyeing and decorating real Easter Eggs and going on a fun Egg Hunt with the Parks and Recreation Department on Wed., April 5 at the McAlister School. The children made wonderfully designed eggs, painted their very own Easter baskets, went on a challenging egg hunt and decorated cookies and treats! Congratulations to Keila Silva and Juneil Crespo who found the “golden eggs” during this year’s program.
