Seniors Welcome HHRC, Lake Park Students For Annual Bunny Hop

Marti Lotman
Benjamin seniors invited preschoolers from the Hispanic Human Resources Council Child Development Centers and Lake Park Elementary to TBS for the annual Bunny Hop celebration. The celebration was the final community service event of the year for the HHRC and Lake Park children.

More than 100 students and their teachers arrived on the Upper School Campus on March 30 to enjoy the morning of festivities. Seniors entertained their special guests with a handful of outdoor activities, including an egg hunt, pony rides, a petting zoo and two bounce houses.

The students also enjoyed activities in the gym and a photo with the Easter Bunny.

"The bunny hop is an event that I look forward to each year for one big reason: the children's faces. The absolute joy and happiness that is spread from ear to ear is amazing. Not only is this a fantastic event for our little friends but also for our seniors who shine and rise to the occasion always," says upper school teacher Amanda Pierman, coordinator of the service project. "This year we had the pleasure of combining three schools as our guests: Lake Park Elementary and the HHRC two preschools; Luciano Martinez center and New Pines . . . The sun was shining, the day was glorious, but the biggest things that we radiating were the smiles for all that were involved."

The HHRC is a non-profit community based organization established in 1977 to address the social service needs of the community, including the operation of its two Child Development Centers that offer quality child care for low income, disadvantaged families and children at risk.
