School was never so fun as it was today for the kids at West Sabine Elementary School. The kids are getting ready for their summer vacation and have lots of extra energy and excitement to contain. Well, today they could let that energy take over as they enjoyed a special field day. Blow up slides and jumping gyms were placed around the school in stations and all the classes took turns at each. They climbed to the top sometimes with a little help and enjoyed the sliding and the water as it trickled down and made their slide a little slicker. A few kids made it away from the line and found the resulting mud puddles and got a little carried away with mud sliding and mud ball fights (until they got caught). The kids were wearing their well deserved "Reading Counts!" t-shirts and you could smell the coconut sunscreen as they lined up outside to start their fun. The kids worked so hard this year and this celebration was a wonderful way to reward the kids and to show them that school and learning can be fun. For me, I enjoyed all the smiles and excitement. It is wonderful to hear someone laugh and see them smile, especially a child.
