Activity Planning at SPLAT

I rewarded the participants in our first SPLAT - with candy, of course! They came up with the list of activities for SPLAT, below:

Mad libs
DS/PS
Hobby day
Edit Videos
Funny videos
Gurp
WTQ
Name that Tune
Game Day
Talent Show
Singing and Dancing
Make a manga
More Jeopardies (but Daniel doesn't want to be the only one making them!)
Guitar Hero
Minute to win It
Decorate the teen section - can you tell this one is mine?
Rubik’s Cube Day
Poster Creation
Wii Just Dance
Super Mega Smash Bros Brawl

As you can see, this group likes games! No mysteries, no plays . . . although Dan did point out that we haven't finished the video mystery we started last year. Oops.

Want to add anything to the list?? Be my guest.

I will be shortly putting out a schedule of SPLAT events - MOST will be open to ALL 6th through 12th grade students. Hey, most are games!!

And every now and then, we will have a SPLAT advisor meeting, just for "the select few" . . .

SPLAT begins . . . for some

Hello! This is the latest on what is happening with teen activities at the Library this school season.

First, SPLAT on Wednesdays, from 3 to 4:30, is open to grades 9 through 12 this year. A change! If you came to SPLAT last year, when you were in 7th grade, YOU get to come to SPLAT this year. Just You!

SPLAT STARTS SEPTEMBER 15.

7th and 8th graders: we will have a monthly special program for you! And maybe something more frequently . . .

I will be at Mrs. Rowe's Media Apps class weekly at the McPherson LRC on Wednesdays.

And Anime Club is back. 4th Saturday of the month: noon to 2:30. You don't have to sign up to come, but I'd like to know if you are coming, so text or call or comment below . . . First meeting: September 25!
