Centennial COOP had a great time celebrating Easter with two egg hunts right before break. Ms. Jackson, our Earth/Space teacher, set up a campuswide egg hunt with "planets" her class had created for one of their lessons on Wednesday and then on Thursday the COOP teachers hide eggs in the back ball field for the COOP students to find. We think the teachers had as much fun hiding the eggs as the COOP class did finding them!
