The school's Media Resource Center was the hub of all the days activities. When it was time to recuperate and relax, the room held activities such as movies and crafts. Children also came to the MRC for a pizza lunch with various snacks.



The opposite of the MRC was the gymnasium, where gym students and the children played an annual game of dodgeball. Student athletes shined in the dodgeball game as they played with the young children, exemplifying true sportsmanship by inducing confidence in them and assisting with their skills.

The science room conducted various science experiments, where staff of students were amazed by the reactions taking place. To further their creative side, the video production room allowed for the children to create their own version of Sparta High's morning announcements, The Sparta Scoop. The culinary arts room hosted cookie and cupcake decorating.









Over at the Sparta School Store, school store manager Jesse West and advisor Mrs.Chiappini gave away free ice pops to the children, in exchange for them working at the school store. The temporary new employees greeted customers, delivered orders, and learned how to use the cash register.

Each year, the traditions of Bring Your Child To Work Day come alive. The welcoming community of Sparta High School is a fantastic place to bring young children as the school puts together various fun events and high school students enjoy showing the children around.
