The cornhole boards that the eighth graders made turned out great and many enjoyed playing the bean bag game, including students Conner Eastwood and Sayer Harry.

Natalee Marundee, here with her dad, Paul, was the happy attendee who won a raffle prize of a $20 gift certificate to Jantz Bakery donated by third and fourth grade teacher Teena Starchman. After dinner activities included games of tossing bean bags into the corn hole boards, playing ball out on the field, and picking out a free book or two to take home.
