Hello folks, and welcome to another edition of Dorm Happenings from here at Howser Dorm on the campus of KSB. It has been a very busy week here on campus.
Sunday was the kick-off for the week with a Baby shower event for Ms. Destiny as we ate chicken, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese with hot biscuits, butter and honey. We had a fun time playing games of Find the Baby in the bowl, Musical pacifiers around the table, we also played change the diaper on the baloon game. Then Ms. Destiny opened her gifts from everyone. Then we had deserts of chocolate covered strawberries, cupcakes, strawberry cream, and punch with fruit tray. Ms. Dollie and Ms. Annette did a wonderful job of decorating and preparing the all-purpose room for the party.
Monday night the elementary students played outside on the playground and the middle school and high school students played bingo in the dorm with multiple winners through the evening.
Tuesday night brought the much anticipated and long overdue Valentines Day party/dance. We had a good turnout of KSB day and dorm students, parents , siblings and staff. We had around 50 people attend and had numerous groups that volunteered in set up and decorating the gym and foyer areas, also with food preparation, thanks to KSB alumni and Lions club members for being our DJs for the evening. We also had Optamology students from U of L that assisted with photo booth, serving food and clean up after the party was over. We, also had numerous donations and assistance from KSB staff. Everyone was very instrumental in a successful event even after all the cancellations.
Wednesday night brought about an opportunity for the dorm students to go on a field trip to the Jeffersontown Memorial Park for a picnic in the park with Ms. Dollie, MS. Destiny, Ms. Z and Mr. Larry . The students got to explore the artillery equipment, play on the playground and then had a picnic at the pavilion. It was a very historical and information filled night as the students discovered some history of the veterans from Jeffersontown and also different types of tanks, armory and weapons used in our nation's defense of the republic. Then the group stopped at McDonalds on the return trip to the dorm for ice cream and shakes.
Thursday night brought low numbers into the dorm as many of our students were away at the conference bowling meet in Illinois, and some students went home with family after the braille challenge. But for the students remaining on campus, we had a good evening with elementary students playing Simon Says and Musical Chairs in the rec gym and then it was movie night and music night for a few students. Some students played billards and pop a shot. It was a good week that was packed with many different adventures.
We want to remind everyone to be ready for the upcoming Audible Egg Hunt for students on campus Sunday, March 23rd. There are flyers circulating around and online notices about this event. Please be looking for it.
Until next time.
