Easter egg hunt

Callison elementary and Summit Community churchteamed up this Easter weekend in Round Rock to give under privileged childrenthe chance to enjoy an Easter egg hunt. There are many kids that attend Callison Elementary school who otherwise wouldn’thave had the chance to enjoy a big Easter celebration.  The two organizations generously donated thefollowing:  bouncy houses, tattoo airbrushing and a snow cone truck from Kona ice. There were enough Easter eggs tosupply a small army, so there was no   chance that any child would go without an egg,and there were over 100 prize eggs in the mix. There were over 500 people inattendance and it seemed that everyone was enjoying themselves. Children andtheir families were enjoying the free hot dogs and basking in the sun whilethey slurped up their snow cones. The festivities kicked off at 11am and wenttill 12:30. It’s nice to see the church and the communities come together andgive a positive example to those who attended. The separation of church and statewas not an issue on this beautiful day and I’m sure the children are gratefulfor all the hard work that went into planning this event.   I thinkthat the church gets too many negative views in the media today and  hopefully with more kind gestures such as thisand teaming up with more schools they can continue to make the lives ofchildren and their families more enjoyable.
