 | | Library Update Thank you so much to all the families who donated supplies to our MakerSpace! The students are loving all the new items and we have a great stash put away to replenish the MakerSpace for the next couple of months.
It was also so much fun to see all the Dr. Seuss outfits in celebration of Read Across America Day! The kids looked great and we had a really fun day. I am very grateful to work with such a generous and supportive community!
Sincerely, Ms. Young |
