Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Happiness was circulating around the Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre (PLC) at the Happy Themed Drop-In program on January 10.
This program featured happy themed games which included a bucket game and scavenger hunt where children searched the centre for pictures of faces celebrating occasions. There was a snack with happy faced hash browns, oranges and a cake. As well, there were happy songs that played in the background. A ngel Campbell, Program Planner for PLC, said with the bitter cold weather outside,
they wanted to offer a fun program for children. “This program focused on developing all of children’s gross motor skills. As well, it taught children how to be mentally healthy on a good day and it helped them to understand good emotions and how to process those emotions with the occasions that matched with these emotions. . At the end of the program, Campbell read the children a book about joy.
