One World, Many Stories Summer Reading Kickoff Party

WBL always pulls out a crowd when we throw our infamous Summer Reading Parties and this year wasn’t any different! WBL hosted 175 children for its “One World, Many Stories Summer Reading Kickoff” party!

There were many stations and an ice cream bar! Each station took you to a different place around the world! They went from Africa to Japan, to Latin countries, to Italy! All the stations had a display of books from the different countries and hosted a craft. The station in Africa made custom African neckware! In Japan, the kids made Carp Streamers! In Italy, the kids were able to take pictures with the “Tower of Pisa” and put together a plate of pizza! The Latin station, made maracas and were able to decorate them however they liked! There was also, a Hawaiian station, where there was a limbo! And a limbo contest was held! There were two winners of the contest and they won summer reading t-shirts!

We would like to thank the volunteers that helped with this program! It would not have been very successful without them!

If you missed this year’s party, you missed a good one, but there’s always next year!
