Easter in November
It was Egg Activity Day at East Wawanosh Public School last week. After a parent suggested
collaborating with the provincial egg board on an activity day, it made its way to the school.
Students spent the afternoon colouring eggs, completing egg-themed word puzzles and
watching an informative video. The collaboration with the egg board will open the door to
funding for the school later in the year, funding the school has decided to use for new sports
uniforms. Paige Fleming and Simon Johnston look on as they get a hand colouring their eggs.
