BGM Kiddie Carnival bring families together for a good cause

      A young girl waits in anticipation for the wheel to stop spinning to see if she wins prize 1, 2, 3 or 4 during the BGM Kiddie Carnival on Friday, March 8. The booth was sponsored by the Bear Creek Kids Campus. The fundraising event was sponsored by PIE (Parents in Education) with iJAG students and instructor Deb Hunt manning the various booths that included Plinko, ring toss, bowling, golf, fishing, face painting and more. Profits from the event go toward the school's efforts to resurface the playground and make it more inclusive. Other support came from the Ruritans, Manatts, parents and community members who donated prizes, games, time and recourses. "It was great seeing all the smiles and families spending time together," said Elementary Principal Mary Sherwood.
