Your child received his or her very own Screen Free Week Folder. Inside you will find a BINGO card that will serve as your official log if you choose to participate. Simply complete as many activities as you'd like on the log in lieu of using your screens for the week. The following week (anytime between April 8-12) bring your BINGO sheet back to Miss Diana in the office. Your child will receive a special book, certificate, and ticket to enter our amazing Unplugged Raffle drawing.
