Hopping into Spring Break

Today the WGH National Honor Society Students hosted an Egg Hunt for the PK students at WGH. Each PK student was buddied up an NHS student for the event. The PK kids got to decorate a bag, use their seeking skills to find the eggs, their counting skills to find the right number of eggs, and their communication skills to share stories with their NHS buddies.

This was a super special and fun event! See the images below!
We hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break!

Sincerely,

Hillary Allen and Brandy Scarmack, NHS Advisors
