Ice Cream Party Fun

Summer Reading Ice Cream Party.

Thank you to all the many incredible volunteers and staff that helped at the ice cream party! It would not have been such a wonderful success without all your efforts. We appreciate you!

The First Annual Summer Reading Challenge Ice Cream Party turned the Foyer of the Baarburg Theatre into an Ice Cream Parlor for the afternoon of August 31st 2012. Students, parents and staff all enjoyed the celebration by creating ice cream sundaes and taking about books they read this summer. With students on the Zug Campus completing over 4,000 hours of reading this summer we had much to celebrate.  The Summer Reading Challenge was a huge success and we look forward to next year.

The Summer Reading Challenge was offered for the first time at ISZL as a way to celebrate reading even during the summer holidays. Students of all grades could choose to complete a game board over the summer by reading specified amounts of time. The game board was returned to school this fall and all participants invited to celebrate their reading achievement by coming to an ice cream party. We had much to celebrate at the ice cream party with over 300 students participating and over 4,000 hours of reading done this summer.

The completed games boards were also put into three draws based on the grade of the student for age appropriate exciting prizes: This years winners are:

The winner of the 10 passes to Planeta Magic is Teun in 1st grade

The winner of the draw for 4 passes to AlpaMare (Grades 2-5) is Kara in 5th grade

The winner of the draw for 4 passes to AlpaMare (Grades 6-8) is Annebelle in 6th grade

We congratulate everyone on an incredible summer of reading.
