GINGERBREAD THROWDOWN: Can you make the greatest gingerbread
house of all time?
Bring your
constructed house, decorating materials and your game face to the Zoom meeting
on December 16th at 6:30 PM to see who will be crowned the Gingerbread
Champion of our newest virtual family event. This could be a friendly annual
competition and participation will determine it.
Gingerbread houses
should have all basic construction done ahead of time, be freestanding, and the
majority of materials must be edible. Other than these few restrictions,
anything goes, so get creative!
All contestants
will have 25 mins to decorate and/or add on structural pieces to their
gingerbread house to make it festive and amazing. Librarians will judge each
gingerbread house on creativity, quality of construction, and edibility (what
percentage of materials used are edible).
All participants
will be able to pick up a personalized certificate a day or two after the
event, but only one participant will win the grand prize ($15 gift certificate
to Beantowne). Put your heads together as
a family to begin your practice sessions now and don’t delay registration for
this classic event.
READERS THEATER:
Get
your reading and drama practice ON! Reader’s Theater is a fun way to expand
your reading and speaking skills. Join other children in grades 2-5 on Zoom
Thursday, December 17th at 6:30 PM.
We have the plays and will email the script to you so you can practice
your part or it can be available for pick-up. Register ASAP to get your Zoom

toward Broadway and the big world out there!
