Making a Giant Candyland Board Game in the Bracken Courtyard

Many volunteers decended on Bracken to help paint the courtyard sidewalk to resemble a giant Candyland board game. It took the volunteers just over three hours to do the painting. Roteract and student volunteers are in the process of putting the finishing touches on the board.

Kideract and 25-Club students pitched in to paint the sidewalk in front of the Kindergarten classrooms.

Thank you to all volunteers that made were able to complete this project in record time.

Many hands make light work
