Family Fun Night

Wednesday evening was “Family Fun Night” at Hoonah Elementary and High School.

After a free spaghetti dinner, all the families were invited to walk through the school and visit different activity zones.



The gym was a favorite destination for the kids, as there was a wide variety of sport actives to try: badminton, Velcro mitts with tennis balls and ping pong. Steve played ping pong against one junior high opponent that made Steve work for his wins... I knew it was serious when I saw Steve out of his thick sweater and playing in his t-shirt.









Another gym event was the basketball free-throw contest. The family that made the most baskets would win a $50 gift certificate to Hoonah Trading Center. In the free-throw contest I thought we had a good chance of taking home the prize…Andrew made 5 out of 10. I made 7 out of 10 ….but in the last 10 shots Steve lost his focus and made 6 out of 10 shots. For those of you that didn’t quite catch those numbers….I made more baskets than Steve…ohhhh my daddy would be so proud!



We had a great time and playing in the gym, making Lego creations, learning the rules of a math game with some fancy name and creating a one of a kind paper sailor hat decorated with colorful feathers and pipe cleaners. Pictured above is Andrew's friend, Nina, wearing her work of art.
