Students and their families gathered for a fun night at Austintown Intermediate School on March 3 for the third annual Family Bingo Night.
Last year, the PTA had 90 pre-sale tickets and this year the number of pre-sales greatly increased with 140 tickets. There were also several families who bought tickets at the door. Students in grades 3, 4 and 5 attended the event.
“I’m so excited because I can tell there are a lot more people this year,” said PTA President Patty Herman.
The event lasted two hours and was filled with Bingo, food and fun. There were prizes given away to the winners of Bingo and prizes for those who entered in the 50/50 raffle. There were food gift cards, Austintown Falcon gear and many more items to be given away as prizes.
The PTA has been organizing the Bingo night for weeks and had numerous meetings to make sure the night would run smoothly. The members have learned each year how to much the next year even better than before.
There was a photobooth and props for guests to take pictures with to remember the night. The guests could take four different pictures and have it printed out on a photo strip.
“It’s a safe environment for the family to come,” said Herman. “It’s great to have the adults come and have a good time with their kids.”
Students came with their siblings, parents and grandparents. The night provides a good opportunity for families and friends to spend time together at school.
