Children at Dobbins Elementary School had only a short time to win each game during Fun Day June 7. The theme of the day was “Minute to Win it” named after the NBC game show.
“All the games take a minute and take skill and coordination. This is something that is talked about all year round. It’s something they anticipate,” said Fun Day Event Coordinator Kristin Masucci.
The event included relay race games such as “Play it by Ear” and “On the Hook” where students had to remain focused and create strategies to win. The event was also a grand way to end the school year.
“This is a day that’s fun for an entire day to celebrate the end of the school year,” Masucci said.
Students weren’t the only ones enjoying themselves at the event. Teachers also joined in the festivities of the day.
“It’s a way for the kids to see the their teachers in a different light. They get to see them dressed down and having fun,” Masucci said.
Parents were also able to participate. Some parents even took a day off of work to spend Fun Day with their student.
“It’s a lot of fun to see them and for them just to know that their more important than work,” said parent Mike Cortias,
Bellows of laughter echoed all over the school grounds and many children were excited to be able to experience such an event.
“I hope they take away that today was a day of fun and whimsy. At the end of the day there is such a feeling of satisfaction,” Masucci said.
