The Susanville State Preschool was filled with excitement and laughter on February 21 as students, families, and staff participated in a special event featuring the Hope Wheels Group. The morning was packed with music, movement, hands-on activities, and a wellness workshop for parents, creating a memorable experience for all involved.
The event kicked off with a heartwarming dance performance by the preschool students, who showcased their enthusiasm and energy in front of proud parents and staff.
Shortly after, the children moved to the gym area, where the Hope Wheels Group engaged them in interactive activities designed to inspire creativity, exploration, and fun. Meanwhile, parents gathered for a quick wellness session, focusing on practical tips for supporting their child’s well-being and development.
From building and creating with Hope Wheels materials to active play and movement exercises, the event gave students a chance to learn through hands-on experiences.
Hope Wheels, widely recognized for its Guinness World Record achievements, is dedicated to providing children with engaging activities that promote physical, cognitive, and social development.
Dawn German-Howe, Lassen County Office of Education’s Preschool Education Specialist, emphasized the impact of the event, saying, “It was incredible to see the joy on the students’ faces as they danced, played, and explored. Events like these highlight the power of movement and creativity in early childhood education. We are grateful to Hope Wheels for bringing such an engaging and meaningful experience to our preschool community.”
The event concluded with a shared lunch for students who remained on campus, allowing them to reflect on their fun-filled morning with friends and teachers.
