The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

The sounds of laughter, singing, and children at play will bring a smile to your face. Children involved in indoor and outdoor activities create wonderful memories of their youth. 

Recently, members who attended the June school board meeting were treated to songs by the middle and high school choir. All those present had smiles on their faces. The choir had recently entertained participants at a mature exerciser's class at Town Hall. There, Anita Baker played the school fight song on the piano, and the girls were all smiles as they learned the words from Sherri Erikson.

Before school let out for summer break, the FFA group held a field day. Students played some basketball, played some cornhole, and finished with a game of slip-n-slide kickball which brought a lot of laughs and smiles to the faces of the competitors and the spectators. 

Vacation Bible School was a hit with about 50 participants. The children appreciated discovery and Bible stories, created crafts, sang songs, and smiled and laughed during the recreation session. 

Over at Preston Park, the new splash pad is a hit with many kids as the weather has warmed up. Children's laughter as they play with friends and shrieks when the cold-water splashes them can be heard from blocks away.  

Make someone smile today.  Sing, play, and laugh like a kid or a kid at heart!
