Purim Carnival
On the Friday before Purim all of the YCQ students adorned in their Purim costumes,
enjoyed a day of games, obstacle courses, popcorn and cotton candy. This year we had DJ
Eli entertain us as we jumped on the PTO sponsored bounce houses that were brought in
for our yearly event. With the prize tickets earned, the children entered a drawing for
some really cool prizes. The eighth graders were hard at work all day making sure the kids
all had an amazing time.
