LS Thanksgiving Book Bingo
Over the river and through the woods, to read some books we go! All Lower School students are invited to check off any reading activities they complete over Thanksgiving break on their Thanksgiving Book Bingo sheet.
Once they're done, they just need to have an adult initial the bottom and return their signed bingo sheets to the Lower School library after break to receive a small prize. If they complete three activities in a row, they win one prize, or, if they complete the whole sheet, they win two prizes. Happy reading!
