How does the Easter Egg Hunt work?
The Easter Egg Hunt is held at the SHS stadium. The Easter Egg Hunt will occur in three waves. The stadium field is divided into 2 sections. The first wave is the 2 and under and 3-4-year-old egg hunts. The second wave is the 5-6-year-old and 7-8-year-old egg hunts. The last wave is the 9-10-year-old egg hunt and will utilize the entire field. Some Easter Eggs will contain small prizes, while a few lucky egg hunters will have eggs that contain slips of paper that are associated with a grand prize! All eggs are collected at the conclusion of each egg hunt. Lucky winners will need to report to the prize station with their slip of paper to claim their grand prize.
