Fourth-graders enjoy activities at CMU
Smiling faces and youthful giggles could bo seen and
heard on campus this weekend as area fourth-graders
congregated here for "Sunshine Saturday", sponsored
by Student Foundation (SF).
Under ejoudless blue skies, 225 fourth-graders from
Mt. Pleasant and- Rosebush elementary schools toured
the campus, enjoyed a hotdog roast and participated in
relay races and games.
"We couldn't have asked for better weather or a
better day," Betty Cash, SF adviser for community
services, said.
Upon their arrival Saturday morning, the, children
were divided into small groups and placed under the
supervision of 35 SF volunteers. The volunteers then
took them on a tour of campus.
Highlights of the tour included watching Central
cheerleaders perform gymnastic acts in Finch and a
magician make animals out of, balloons, Cash, Livonia
senior, said,
Lunchtime, however, was a special treat as hotdogs
and orange drink awaited the children. "Some of the kids
kepi coming up for seconds and thirds," Cash said.
After lunch,, a aeries of relay races and games were
played by the children and SF.members behind Finch.
Ribbons were awarded to everyone, Cash explained.
"The kids were quite active and excited to be here,
but they needed to play the games to wear them down a .
little," she added.
Other than one minor nose bleed, Cash said children
attending Sunshine Saturday enjoyed the day as much
as the SF volunteers.
"The kids hated to leave, they got so attached to
their tour guides," Cash .said.
