A bit of rain did not dampen the fun for students during the Lynbrook Summer Playground’s carnival day on Aug. 7, which featured a variety of classic games.
At Marion Street and West End elementary schools, peer volunteers hosted carnival-style games that put students’ skills to the test. Games included a ring toss and a bottle toss, basketball and soccer scoring challenges, bowling and cornhole. Face painting proved to be popular among students who wanted to sport a flashy new face. Each game played yielded fun prizes for all participators.

The Lynbrook Summer Playground’s Pirate Day was a success on July 19 as students came ready with eyepatches, hook hands, bandanas and more, signaling a day of fun.

Each year, the Summer Playground welcomes all Lynbrook Schools students and Village of Lynbrook children entering kindergarten through eighth grade. Kicking off the festivities at Marion Street and West End elementary schools, students showed off their pirate costumes in an exciting parade. Afterward, shipmates cooled down with ices and gathered for a variety of activities of their own choosing, including baseball and soccer games, a run through the sprinklers and fun on the schools’ playgrounds.

Since opening this summer, students at Summer Playground have also tie-dyed shirts, taken regular trips to Woodmere Lanes for bowling, participated in interactive martial arts lessons and enjoyed a game-filled carnival day. Soon, they will show their skills in a talent show and compete in the Summer Playground Olympics.
