Hello ISWA Students!

I hope your summer is off to a great start, and you are engaging in lots of fun activities! Speaking of fun activities - take a look at the attached Summer Bingo cards. We would love for you to participate. Just follow these instructions and have fun!

Color the squares on your card using text highlights on your computer, or print the Bingo card off and use crayons, markers, or whatever you like for coloring. When you have a Bingo (an entire line of squares - row, column, or diagonal filled in) or a Blackout (each square on your card filled in), email your card or a picture of your card to me at dfigula@k12insightwa.org, and you will be entered in a drawing for a prize! The drawing will be held on the first day of school, September 3, 2025. (Note – you must be a current ISWA student to win.)

I look forward to seeing your Bingos and Blackouts!

Have Fun!
