• Water balloon game
• Cupcakes and candy

• Tissue paper window art project
• Group dancing with a hand clapping game

“Students of all ages enjoyed the event and student interactions were priceless,” said Señora Tzeitel Borbon, Spanish teacher at Fernley High School. “A huge shout out to all those who made this event possible: my Spanish II students who worked tirelessly on making this event successful, Jessica Billings leading the awesome EVES 2nd grade teachers, students and support staff, musicians Julie and Carlos Ocampo, Sarah Braswell and the drivers who helped transport all the students and materials.”
