Jeff Davis Volunteers for Family and Community Domestic Divas visited the local James Ward Center of Excellence to surprise students with several fun rounds of bingo. The games were to reward the kindergarten through fifth and sixth through 12th grade students who earned points for good behavior, at a level set by the school for a whole month. Prizes were donated by the Domestic Divas. Some students won more than one game and the ones who didn’t win a round received a few treats before leaving.
