Haven Bay

What an incredible night at Haven Bay! 🍫📚 Our Great Blue Herons and their families flocked to the school for a "sweet" celebration of reading at our Chocolate Touch: Books and Bites Literacy Night! The energy was electric as our hallways transformed into a chocolate lover’s paradise. From trivia to tasty treats, it was a night to remember. ✨ Our students showed off their "sweet" smarts, competing in trivia challenges that put their chocolate knowledge to the test! Families gathered around for cozy reading sessions, bringing the magic of Reading to life. We had a "Chocolate Cake Walk," "Chocolate Bingo," and even a photo booth to capture all the smiles. The gym was buzzing with students finding their next favorite adventure to take home. No literacy night is complete without snacks! Our students loved the custom cookies and chocolatey surprises throughout the evening.

💙 A Huge Thank You! A massive shout-out to our amazing staff, our wonderful parent volunteers and PTA Board, and all the families who joined us. Events like this remind us why the Haven Bay community is so special. Seeing our Herons dive into books with such excitement is exactly what we love to see!
