Teachers and organizations set up game booths such as a ring toss to win a 2-liter drink, Bingo, face painting, a dunking booth, and a cake walk. Food and drinks were available from Jorge’s, El Bajillo, Bello’s Chinese Food and More, and Chillz on Wheelz. The special education, art, music, and PE departments provided face painting. Blue Tax Services donated the teacher dunking booth. Mr. Tina Smith donated the inflatable bounce house for the young children.
