Genet Elementary School hosted its annual Fun Day on Wednesday with students participating in games and activities throughout the school day. Students rotated through stations that included relay races, kickball, pickleball, badminton, cornhole, kan jam, water balloon toss and parachute games.
The event started with the running of the Coaches Cup, a 300 meter run around the track by students who qualified for it through their Physical Education classes.
After the run, students cheered as Principal Wayne Grignon invited three retiring teachers – Elise Beams, Julie Hammill and Maureen McHugh – to throw whipped cream pies at him. Then, 3rd grader Jack Brewer was allowed to press a cake into Mr. Grignon’s face as the grand prize for the Read for Ronald McDonald Program that occurred earlier in the year.
