Weekly Update for 01/25/16

Reading Fest is Coming!

"Read S'More Books" at Camp Carrollton

When:  Wednesday, January 27 6:30-8:00

Where: Carrollton Elementary School

Who:  All CAES families are invited to come participate in our reading activities.

What: This is an evening to come and experience the joys of reading with your children.  We will have reading games, camp sing-alongs, reading around a campfire, flashlight sight word tag, reading computer games, and much more!  All CAES students who attend will be eligible to enter a raffle to win prizes.

Do I need to bring anything:

1.  We are going to be doing a book swap.  Bring a gently used book that your child has already read, and you can swap it out for a "new to you" book at our book swap table.

2.  We are also having a food drive to benefit Christian Outreach.  Now that the holidays are over, we want to help restock the pantries of those who really need it.  Please bring a non-perishable food item to donate.  For every item you donate, you will be given a raffle ticket to be entered to win out special "Camp Carrollton Family Pack".
