This year's theme is Angry Birds-Happy Readers and is based on the characters from the computer game sensation. In a change from past year's, students will be required to earn 7 points on Accelerated Reader quizzes in order to move from one station to the next. A total of 49 points earned between February 4th and April 5th will earn a student top honors for completing the program. Books read should be on a student's independent reading level. As always, the WSPA is providing prizes for each of the seven stations. All students completing the seventh station will earn a special ticket making them eligible to take part in a live-action version of the Angry Birds game. Who will prevail, the egg-stealing pigs or the Angry Birds students? Stay tuned to find out.Fri, 19 Apr 2013 14:05:28 GMThttp://www.bergenfield.org/site/Default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=240&PageID=444&ViewID=047e6be3-6d87-4130-8424-d8e4e9ed6c2a&FlexDataID=868While food drives are typically held during the holiday season, people typically forget that there is a need for pantry replenishment year round. In celebration of the 100th day of school this year, classes at Washington School were challenged to collect a total of 100 items which would be then donated to the Bergenfield Food Pantry.
