West Lincoln-Broadwell builds closeness with family and friends fun day

[December 16, 2017] 

LINCOLN

At the end of October on a Sunday afternoon, West Lincoln-Broadwell celebrated togetherness as one body when faculty, administration, staff, students, family and friends all joined together for a good time.

Inside the school on a rainy day, there were quieter places where people could chat and laugh as they did crafts, ate sandwiches, sipped the featured drink of the day, delicious 'frozen apple cider,' or just visited.

There were plenty of places to burn off energy, such as the many bounce houses set up in the gym and a number of other unique games that provided physical challenges including throwing or hitting a ball of various sizes, soccer balls that Velcro stuck to a giant target or air suspended plastic balls to bat.

The cafeteria served as a great mess proof place for students to get ewy-gooey making a colored play dough, color was the operative word here where personalities were revealed.

In fluid flux, groups of students and adults formed and broke, chatted and laughed throughout the afternoon.

The day was one more in many good days at the school and a regular event each year that students and their families look forward to attending.
School's sports pride is evidenced in the line of state championship signs along the front fence on Rt. 10/Woodlawn Road. After this year, the signs will need to be scrunched closer together.
