On Tuesday, August 20th, approximately 35 members of the Grinnell High School staff made a stop in the Mayflower Community Buckley Courtyard as they “covered that square” on their “Bingo cards.” In the process of start-of-school orientation, the teachers and staff traveled around Grinnell by school bus, making stops listed on their handouts while serving as human-sized game figures.
The group were under the direction of Guidance Counselor, Amanda Pearce. She is married to Master Gardner, Ben Pearce, who is Mayflower’s Gardens and Grounds Supervisor. Likely, Amanda knew where she was going!
This Bingo stuff may not make a lot of sense to you the reader, but these “grown-up kids,” were having a ball connecting with each other and shaking off the summer cobwebs. Here’s hoping they can settle down in time for the well-behaved students on the first day of school Friday!
