🎈 JFA’s Annual Spring Fling was a blast! Families had a wonderful day filled with laughter and community. Kids stayed busy on the inflatable bounce house and slide, played carnival games for prizes, and got creative with amazing face painting by Mrs. Traini and Ms. Deans! 🎨✨

The snacks were a hit with fresh popcorn, snow cones, hot dogs and chips for everyone to enjoy. Plus, parents were able to stop by our information tables to connect with the L.I.F.T. literacy team, Rowan University and learn about lead poisoning prevention. 📚🌭

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this special day! 🌸

🐷 Our students had a blast with a STAR cooking activity creating these adorable piglet faces! They practiced their fine motor skills by spreading cream cheese on English muffins and carefully adding strawberry ears with raisin eyes and noses. It’s safe to say these snacks were just as fun to make as they were to eat! 😋🥯
