Family Reading Night Recap

Flaherty Elementary families came together for a fun-filled evening of books, crafts, and games at Family Reading Night on October 21st. Around 160 students and parents gathered to read together and get in the Halloween spirit with crafts provided by the Meade County Public Library. Students could make spider bracelets, masks, origami boxes, skeletons, and much more! The “Make a Mummy” station was also a big hit with students wrapping up their friends in toilet paper! A ring toss game, monster bowling, Halloween cornhole, and fishing for bugs and pumpkins rounded out the event. If you weren’t able to attend this program and would like more information on how to do the crafts from Family Reading Night at home, visit these links:
