From a simple football field and track to an brilliant
array of inflatables, games, and food. The FHN stadium will see a big change


on May 15 when KOE holds its annual Knights of Excellence Picnic.
“I think it will be so fabulous,” KOE sponsor Diane Holmes said. “The kids already have gotten a head start; there will be much more than in past years.”
Knights of Excellence have had over six meetings
already as to the status of the picnic, a much earlier start than years previous. They plan on having much more inflatables like slides as well as having more carnival style games and prizes.
“It’s one of the best parts of the year,” junior Kaitlyn Schikore said. “It’s awesome to be a part of planning and knowing you had something to do with it.”
The picnic has been a fixture in the FHN year as a way to repay students for their accomplishments. This year promises a positive turnout for all those in attendance. With an increased budget, KOE is not going to hold back.
“It’s going to be bigger and better than ever,” junior Deanna Wohldman said. “Getting to help out will be the best part.”
With such an early start, the group has left no stone unturned in the planning process. Every aspect has been carefully chosen, from game and inflatable locations to even the very weather itself.
“The best part of it all will be the weather,” Holmes said, “because I have reserved a sunny 80 degree day. Also, I want to see the hard work of the KOE kids pay off.”
