his year, the White House Easter Egg Roll incorporated a little physical fitness. The Easter Egg Roll celebrated the fifth anniversary of Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign against obesity. Throughout the Roll, participants were encouraged to take the Gimme Five Challenge, a challenge to all Americans of all ages to give five ways they’re leading a healthier life through five jumping jacks, eating five new vegetables, maybe doing a Gimme Five dance or anything else they can think of to live healthier. To celebrate the campaign’s fifth anniversary, singing group Fifth Harmony sang a couple of songs for participants in the Easter event.

he Psi Nu Chapter, in connection with the Nannie J. Lee Center of Alexandria, Va., hosted its annual Easter Egg Hunt Celebration for the community. Psi Nu Chapter provided food, drink and prizes which consisted of hundreds of candy filled Easter eggs, elaborate prize Easter baskets, and “golden” Easter eggs which contained cash prizes for several children. There was also egg painting, drawing, and other activities that were conducted by the staff of the Nannie J. Lee Center. Psi Nu hosted over 100 children of all ages and an equal amount of parents and/or guardians. There were three separate egg hunts that were conducted for children of different age groups so that every child had a fair chance of filling their basket full of eggs and winning all sorts of valuable prizes. This is the third time that an event of this magnitude has been conducted by Psi Nu in service to the Alexandria community and public at large. Psi Nu Chapter also mentored three young undergraduate men from George Mason University as they assisted in the set-up and serving of the food for the event.
