A rockin' good time for Forest Fling

The weather was beautiful for Brookwood Forest Elementary’s annual field game and fun day, Forest Fling.

This year’s theme was “Have a Rockin’ Good Time.” Students enjoyed game booths, snow cones, popcorn, inflatables and a climbing wall. Some of the favorite booths were colored hair spray, face painting, nail painting and “Fake a Break” where students put bandages on imaginary injuries. Airbrush tattoos were new this year and a huge hit, as well as the “Free the Beast” booth where boys and girls tried to find the correct key to unlock the cage and free the stuffed animal.

Caroline Peek’s second grade class was the winner of the box top competition and got to come out and enjoy Forest Fling 30 minutes earlier than the rest of the school.

Major sponsors of 2013 Forest Fling were: Advanced Internal Medicine Sharon Chaney MD, Classic Flooring Inc., Cory Watson Crowder DeGaris, Piggly Wiggly, Today’s Harvest, Y MediaWorks, Bridget Sikora- Realty South, Great Smiles Orthodontics, KGS Steel Inc., Tempstar Heating and Cooling, and In Memory of Colonel Frank Reese Pound Jr.

Committee members were Lisa Bebenek, Mary Virginia Gardner, Natalie Gillespie, Maurine Halpern, Adrian Hughes, Jennifer Nemet, Elizabeth Long, Amy Sanders, Bridget Sikora, Ellen Stein, Pamela Windsor, Elaine Yeager, Tracy Cron, Leslie Armstrong, Desiree Key, Laura Kunze, Keely Culpepper and Nancy Thomason.
