Kindergarten event breaks ice for incoming students and parents
Even though school doesn't start for a few more weeks, the action in Butler Catholic School's gymnasium resembled a regular gym class Wednesday evening.
The school hosted an icebreaker event for the incoming kindergarten class that also enabled parents to get to know one another.
Aaron and Sara Skwirut have a student going into kindergarten and were glad the school brought this event back.
“This is nice because he did not get to go to this last year,” Sara Skwirut said. “Maybe it would have helped him; he can be a little shy.”
Parents spent time outside the school “speed dating,” where they would introduce themselves to other parents and talk for a minute or two. Meanwhile in the gym, physical education teacher Fred Skrocki led the children through energizing activities that had them running around the room, bouncing balls to one another and hula hooping.
