Hello again! LET'S MAKE THE MOST OF EACH MEETING!!!
This year there will be new activities for matches to choose to do when they are meeting. There is a binder and tote in each of the libraries.
With the activities there are get-to-know options, challenges, games and much more. For example, each building has a Get-to-Know-You Jenga game to play. There are also Bingo sheets to pick up and keep. Once you get a Bingo take a picture or send me an email to get a free pop or candy bar of your choice!
New activities will be added periodically throughout the year so keep checking in to see what's new!
Matches start meeting in a few weeks (anytime after Labor day). I look forward to hearing about all the fun the Teammate matches are having!!
