Book Bingo - Redeem Your Bingo for Prizes!



Have you been enjoying the PTA Book Bingo?

Our first prize redemption opportunity will be tomorrow (Thu 4/20) during recess and lunch. Students can visit our PTA table along the breezeway (walkway) near the Teacher's Lounge.

There's still time to participate! We'll have another opportunity to turn in Bingo sheets again next week (Thu 4/27).

Check out our PTA website for ideas on books available to read via school-provided apps and resources: https://www.northruppta.org/p/book-bingo-resources.html 📚

Contact us if you need a replacement card. We'll also try to leave some in the School Office.

Thank you for supporting this activity and helping your student explore the world around them.

Family Literacy Night - Wed 4/5

Please join us this Wed for Family Literacy Night at Northrup! From 5:00-6:30 PM, there will be fun activities for families to listen to stories and learn about reading and literacy! The school has invited special guests from the community - including civic leaders & first responders!

We will also have an author visiting! Through a grant from the National PTA, our Northrup PTA was able to fund a special visit from Debbie Yamada, a published children's book author who will be reading from her book and sharing about being author. Debbie's work draws on her diverse background, inspiring students to look within and write about the stories on their hearts. Her work includes Striking it Rich: Treasures from Gold Mountain (an intergenerational retelling of the experiences of Chinese workers during California's Gold Rush) and Old Charlie the Fire Horse (a fictional picture book based on the antics of a real-life fire horse who worked during the Gold a rush).

Please join us for this fun & exciting event. RSVP at the link below. But all are welcome even if you don't RSVP. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
