The students were
treated to exciting educational stories and tidbits, by
Iwandi and Linda Banks in addition to performances by
All-Ah-We dance group, the Albena Lake Hodge Comprehensive
School Choir, the Central Christian School Choir and others.
At the end of a fabulous color filled dance on the open
field, white, orange and aqua marine balloons were released
into the stiff breeze which blew them well into the lower
Valley.
All the stands of Webster's park were
overflowing with a very appreciative mass of youngsters who
were then allowed to have the rest of the day away from
school. |
