{I❤to read} month closing ceremonies


Thursday was the closing ceremonies for the {I❤to read}month.  It was...LOUD!!!

They watched a slideshow of all the pictures from the month.  This is our little Switzerland reps!
Then they announced the classes with the top minutes.

Greeting the kids
A quick class photo
The class met the reading goal of 13,000 minutes.  They were treated with a Pizza party. The pizza came from 2nd Street Pizza.  They were kind enough to give me a good deal too!
Smiling faces loved this!
As much as I hate picking up boots, and hats and gloves.  I sure love how cute kids are in them.
