Letter: Creative event

To the editor:

The Confabularyum “day of creativity” put on at Southwest Middle School last Saturday by our USD 497 school district was an amazing event. I was there with three of my children for almost half of the day. The presentations from local educators, the workshops on everything from catapults to paper airplanes, the digital lab and all the stations were a passionate display of the resources that we want to have for the children of Lawrence.

Kids were racing Pinewood Derby cars; there was an incredible air guitar show put on by Lawrence’s finest; people were wearing hats made of newspaper; HyVee was selling hot dogs; there was a presentation on Minecraft and still a dozen other tables had packed audiences. Great job to all the organizers and “thank you” from all of us and our kids that participated.
