Student volunteers hold festival for S.L. Mason
VALDOSTA - Students from Valdosta State University and the City
of Valdosta’s S.L. Mason Elementary School will join together for
an exciting event as the VSU Student Action Council (SAC) hosts the
first ever Fun in the Sun Festival from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Saturday, April 21 on the university’s front lawn.
More than 600 elementary school students have been invited to
attend the festival that will offer field day style games, free
food, live music, a bounce house and much more. VSU volunteers from
more than 20 campus organizations will facilitate the day’s
events.
The idea originated as part of SAC’s effort to initiate
collaboration between the many campus groups, while providing local
elementary school children and parents a special day of fun and
festivities. Fun in the Sun provides an outlet for community
involvement for student groups of all sizes that are interested in
interacting with the community.
SAC president, Kerry Laster, hopes the festival will not only build
communication and support between organizations, but also
strengthen the VSU student bond with the local community.
