The welcome sign greeted everyone as they
entered the Washington-Monroe gym on Thursday night for the Super
Bowl of Chili and Family Reading Night.
|
Dr. Mary Ahillen, superintendent for District
27, sampled the chili entries as a judge for the competition. She
commented that the chili cook-off was a fun addition to the night's
activity. |

|
|
The
school provided homemade chili of its own for families to enjoy for
supper. Principal Ginger Yeazle received over 200 RSVPs to the
event.
|
Each class at the school created a themed
basket for the raffle. Tickets were sold at the door for a nominal
amount to give each family a chance to win. |
|
|
Family Reading Night was extended to include
the Super Bowl of Chili with the football theme. Students decorated
the halls with cheerleaders and football players like this big guy
who directed families to the library.
|
Lesleigh Bennett and her daughters Peyton
(first grade) and Kacey (fifth) visited the library and enjoyed the
color pages as much as the books.

|
Washington-Monroe Principal Ginger Yeazle
called out raffle winners as a crew of students took turns picking
names from the bucket.
