PRIZES – For each box you complete, it is like adding a ticket into a prize raffle. (One box is one ticket, three boxes is three tickets, if you do a bingo blackout it counts as 13 tickets.)
Three winners will be chosen: Each winner will win a $15.00 gift card to either Amazon or Walmart.
Send photo of activity to Ms. Lehman (librarian) @ 210-526-1210 .
Make sure you include your name. It could be as simple as a picture of the product, the book cover, screen shot or selfie.

About the Librarian
My name is Gina Lehman, and I am excited to be your librarian again this school year. I am proud to say that I have spent all 24 years of my educational career in Judson ISD. I began my career teaching reading for 6th and 7th graders at Woodlake Hills Middle School. For the past 18 years I have enjoyed serving as librarian at Kirby Middle School. I strongly believe that we all can achieve academic success, be inspired for creativity and develop a love for reading by finding the stories that touch our lives.
