A captivating carnival and acts of kindness initiative closed out the last two days of Deer Park’s summer school program on Aug. 15 and 16. The carnival included fun-filled activities, using fine and gross motor skills, including face painting, beading, coloring, ring and bean bag tosses, potato sack races, a bubbles station, hula hooping and bowling. On the final day, students watched a video of themselves documenting their time in the six-week program and enjoyed ice cream. They also received certificates and bracelets for exemplary behavior in the district’s new acts of kindness initiative.
