On a field at Warner Park on Sunday afternoon, dozens of kids attended a carnival-like seventh birthday party.
They rode a horse, jumped on a moon bounce, got their faces painted, made paper hats and more.
But this wasn’t a birthday party for another child. Rather, the families at the park were celebrating the seventh year of Project Ready for School.
It’s an initiative of the United Way of Greater Chattanooga that works to ensure that all children enter school with the skills they need.
