Fiber Optic Center was a proud sponsor of the DeMello/Cushman School PTO Superhero Sprint and Carnival that took place on Saturday May 16th.  The day was both a successful fundraising and community building event.

The day included a fun obstacle course, carnival games, the Oxcart for yummy lunch and snacks, an entertaining DJ, tattoo and hair braiding stations, a fire truck and SUPERHEROES!

The SouthCoast Wellness Van was also there to perform health checks on adults and teenagers.

Kids and adults alike had a wonderful day raising money needed for the school and having lots of fun while doing it.
