How does Bingo work?
Since Bingo Night will be on a Thursday evening this year, we have decided to only have one session of bingo, which starts promptly at 5:30 and ends around 6:30. Each session has 4 rounds of Bingo emceed by our awesome assistant principal, Kristin Moffat. Doors open before Bingo starts so that there is time to get some pizza, a salad and a treat from the Snack Table before Bingo begins. Bingo winners bring their card to the Prize Booth to have their win verified and get a prize.

Is there food?
Yes! Throughout the night in the gym there are two stations selling food. One station will sell pizza slices, salads, and water. Whole pizza pies can be pre-ordered with your registration for $14. Another station sells baked goods such as cookies, brownies, and cupcakes. Aside from the salads ($7), all items usually cost anywhere from $.50 to $2. Kids can use their Fast Pass to pay for food.

What is the Cake Walk?
While Bingo is going on in the Gym, downstairs in the Cafeteria there is a Cake Walk from 6-7. The Cake Walk is like musical chairs with a winner (sometimes 2) every round. We run as many rounds as we can during the night. Winners get to choose a cake prize. The cake “prizes” are small cakes donated by Noyes families who have decorated them in a fun or crazy way with candy, cookies, little toys, etc. to use for the Cake Walk. The Cake Walk costs $1 to play and kids can use their Fast Pass. Click here to donate a cake! |

What is a Fast Pass?
Fast Passes are an easy way to pay for food and activities during the night and are sold for either $5 or $10. They are punch cards where each punch is a dollar. For example, on a $5 card there are 5 circles that spell BINGO. Each time the bearer spends $1 a letter is hole-punched until all 5 letters are gone ($5 is spent). They are sold on a piece of yarn so the kids can wear them as necklaces. The passes can be used at all booths, including food, toy shop, bake sale, and cake walk. They can be purchased at the door in advance on the registration form. |
