Stories in Action

More than 60 readers filled the Polk Building on Thursday afternoon for our third Stories in Action. Students tried their hand at MCBA Mini-Golf, experienced Scar Island, and enjoyed the winning book cake, mummy sticks and dog treats at the snack station. They tried to make money on Poplar Lane, tested their book knowledge with Minute-to-Win-It games and MCBA Jeopardy, and visited the Ancient Egypt Museum. It was a fast-paced, super fun afternoon celebrating the books we have read together this MCBA season.

It takes a village to raise strong readers. 💗
