With the waning summer, many of the programs that were being held to keep kids busy during this time are winding down slowly.
The Stettler Public Library celebrated its final day of the summer reading program on Thursday, Aug. 20 as it recognized some of its young readers for taking the time to read all through summer.
Being called the ‘games galore’ week, the final week began on a fun note as kids enjoyed playing a variety of games, which included corn holes and twister, minute to win it and were engaged in a wide range of activities.
On Wednesday, Aug.19 the kids made a trip to Rochon Sands, where they participated in more activities, making up their own games, such as cup and ball games.
On the final day, six to eight year olds who had read more than seven hours were recognized. Among them were Mayah Smyth, Arya-Lyn MacDougall, Kyara MacDougall, Madison Payne and Damien Foot, who won the Nintendo 3DS for his age group.
Arya-Lyn Macdougall said, “I’m very sad the summer program is ending.”
Nine to 12 year olds who had read more than seven hours were Meghan Spencer, Adi Pillai and Pearl Bansal, who won the Nintendo 3DS for her age group.
Meghan Spencer was awarded a Nintendo 3DS for the teen group.
