Though Bleckley Elementary finished fundraising for their new playground equipment last year, as a school, they are still in need of supplies. So Thursday night, BCES was transformed into a carnival for the annual Winter Festival.
 |
| This student had a unique look as he tried to ring the photo booth with a football. |
Assistant Principal Jenny Brooks said proceeds would go toward technology upgrades and other school supplies. Games and other activities were done with the use of purchased tickets. They included Plinko, a football toss, crazy hair, treat walk, a bounce house, and a wagon ride.
 |
| Shayla Nobles was amongst the cheerleaders helping style crazy hair. |
There were also auctions. A silent auction for various gift baskets as well as a live auction ran by Butch Hon taking place in the lunchroom. People could also relax with pizza or other snacks.
 |
| Gail Wimberly, School Based Health Center Cordinator, provides a demonstration of the Telemedicine machine. Sponsored by Communities in Schools/Family Connection, the device allows school medical staff to examine students. A doctor can also be teleconferenced in and prescriptions can be refilled. The service is available to all students. |
Around 8 pm, Principal Janet DeLoach asked guests to start making their way toward the door and thanked everyone for attending. Probably one of the few times children weren't ready to leave school.
 |
| Prizes were the catch at the Fish Pond. |
 |
| Children enjoyed climbing on this bounce house/obstacle course. |
 |
| Gavin Cole helped mind the candy for the spin the wheel game. |
 |
| What's a festival without cotton candy and popcorn? |
 |
| Auctioneer Butch Hon presided over the festival's first ever live auction. |
 |
| This student connected on the football throw. |
 |
| Cookies and cakes were some of the items available at the treat walk. |
