students hunting eggs

College Park Elementary’s fourth and fifth grade Ambassadors helped execute an egg hunt for their friends from the special services class on Thursday.

The school’s Student Ambassador program is something students have to apply for to join; these are student leaders who demonstrate good behavior and work hard in their classes. Students in the program often help open car doors during drop-off in the morning, greet students as they enter the building, help clean up the school, act as reading buddies and much more. School counselor Amanda Tolbert is the advisor for the school's Student Ambassador program.

The Ambassadors were armed with giant bags of festive plastic eggs as they darted around the kindergarten playground in preparation for special services teachers Debra Parrish and Heather Laird-Bloom to venture onto the playground with their students and start the festivities.

Students arrived with personalized egg baskets and did not waste time hunting for eggs; in fact, it probably took longer for the eggs to be scattered around the playground than it did for them to be collected. Student Ambassadors stuck around to help their friends in their search.
