“An ounce of chaos, but lots of fun,” mentioned PTO President Christina Paradis. “The kids were so excited because it’s just something different in their day. They get to get outside; they get to run around. There are bubbles, there’s colors. They all are a little competitive, so it’s exciting for them.”
