We are getting ready for our "Math Trails and Campfire Tales" Night this Thursday! 🪵🔥🏕️
How cute are these event tickets? Here is how they work:
Each student that comes in will receive an event ticket. As they go to each station, they will receive a sticker. If you visit all 4 stations, then you can go get in line for the hayride! Students must visit these stations before their turn on the hayride:
- s'mores 🍫
- math 🎲
- reading 📚
- community partners 👥
Do you notice a special option on the ticket? If you were one of our families who received a personal invitation to attend our "Lights on after school" literacy workshop, your student will receive a sticker and that will give them immediate access to get on the hayride!
The lights on after school event is for invited families only and will be from 4:30-5:30.
Our main event is open for all families and will take place from 5:30-6:30.
We can't wait to see you there!
