Robin’s Observations from the front desk:
On June 10th, the Summer Reading program kicked off! For someone who has never experienced the craziness of the program before, I was definitely shocked! I was recruited to help handout tickets, keep track of attendance, act as crossing guard, and be a ticket number caller. I must say I was completely amazed at the attendance. We had 119 children come!!! In a way this isn’t so surprising considering we had around 140 to 160 kids sign up. This in itself is truly amazing. For the first program we had the Incredible Mr. E perform a magic show for the kids. Yet, it wasn’t just a magic show; it was tied into the summer reading program theme of BUGS! Mr. E also provided great buggy facts for the kids plus a lot of plugs for reading books. To top it off he also gave all of the kids a free magic trick! The kids really enjoyed it but the adults also seemed to enjoy themselves. I have to say I sure did! Afterwards, we all walked across the street to the Middle School and treated all of the children to a snack. While they were enjoying their snack, Cid and I handed out some prizes. It was an enjoyable day for all and I can’t wait for next week’s program of a Beekeeper!!!
