🎉 Middle School Readers, It’s Game On! 📚🎯
Our Middle School reading groups just kicked off the year with BINGO Reading Challenge cards! Students will be diving into AR books to mark off spaces — aiming for a BINGO or even a full Blackout!
💥 The more they read, the more they win!
We’re looking to make this challenge extra exciting with some awesome prizes and incentives. If you’re interested in donating gift cards, goodies, or other student-friendly rewards, please reach out to a middle school teacher. Your support makes a big difference!
