News and Notes from The Johnson Center
GrapeUp! Week 1 - A Scavenger Hunt
Sarah Song, GrapeUp! Intern | Thu, June 25, 2015 |On Saturday, June 6, 2015, The Johnson Center presented Grape Up! Come Together! to the Austin community for the first time.
Gathered at Pease Elementary School, we had our very own Grapelet (Office Manager Tiffany) read from Waylon and Stogie in The Scavenger Hunt, by Mark Pendergrass. We had a team of American Sign Language interpreters, as well as a Spanish interpreter, on hand to make sure everyone was able to enjoy the story. We also had a GIANT version of the book to follow along as we read it.
We had an absolute blast with our pirate and scavenger hunt theme! The kids were able to go on an interactive scavenger hunt around the Pease Playground. We looked for feathers and rocks and all things shiny and soft, with Pirate Betsy leading the way. At the end of the hunt, all the kids found their treasure and were able to take home a pirate prize.
During snack time, everyone enjoyed their delicious KIND bars and juice boxes before we moved on to our pirate themed photos!
We had a great turn out and lots of fun! We hope to see even more families join us as our summer series continues with more activities and fun!
