Education Club Celebrates George Washington's Birthday
February 16, 2007
The Education Club hosted a night of activities for twenty-two local children in celebration of George Washington's birthday. Children played games, heard a story, and enjoyed some snacks, and of course, birthday cake. It was a great way to spend a warm evening with others.
Donations were collected for one of Associate Professor of Elementary Education Deborah Marciano's former students, Jon Blais, who is dying of ALS. Jon has established a foundation to raise money and awareness of what is more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's diseases. Additional donations can be sent to Dr. Marciano directly, made to "Blazeman Foundation." More info at www.waronals.com.
Club President Bridget Romano '07, Treasurer Sarah Shrieves '07, Historian Aimée Kidd '07 (as George Washington), Vice President Liz Golden '07, and Secretary Kelly Yancone '07 coordinated the event.
Area children join in a game of Twister.
One activity of the evening was coloring. Pictures of George and Martha Washington were on hand. Here, "George goes green!"
Children enjoyed pinning the party hat on George.
"George Washington" cuts his birthday cake.
