Students and staff of Kirkmere elementary school in Canfield presented the Down Syndrome Association of the Valley (DSAV), with a check for $375.
Each month the Youth Leadership Team at Kirkmere, headed by guidance counselor, Mrs. Lori Bagnola, sponsors dress down days for students and staff. The month of February was dedicated to the character traits of kindness and love and the funds raised were designated for DSAV.
Throughout the month, Kirkmere students were reminded to celebrate diversity and embrace the differences of others. Pictured are members of the Kirkmere Youth Leadership Team.

Close to 100 area children celebrated the arrival of Easter with a giant Easter Egg Hunt at Bounce-A-Round's Indoor Party Center. Younger children gathered 500 eggs in their own ToddlerTown area of the indoor facility while the older children raced to gather almost 1,000 eggs from the main play area.
Based on the success of this year's hunt, owner Linda Gilkinson hopes to make this an annual family event at Bounce A-Round, "it was so much fun to plan and the response was overwhelming. I expect we'll need to double in size next year to accommodate the expert egg hunters!"
The 20,000 square foot indoor play center has been operating for just over a month. A brand new snack bar area opened earlier this month, completing the renovation of the current facility.
