Summer Events

 





Introduction

Hello, my little fledglings! I decided to start annual summer events with different themes every year! A Summer Reading event with this year's theme being Reading Rainbow! I truly am excited to also add a creative spin for those who struggle with reading! The ability to instead use any sandbox or Dress-up game (i.e. MyVMK, Dreamlight Valley, Minecraft, Roblox, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Toontown Corporate Clash, etc.) to build rooms, dress up for any of the themes it has to be eligible. I also am hosting a Lilo & Stitch month with this year's theme being a nod to Experiment 625 (aka Rueben) as we make sandwiches whilst we watch the movies and show! As the directions say in it, you can just make your own sandwich, none of the sandwiches below are required! Future events may have a creative spin, according to the year!
