JES wrapped up Read Across America Week with a special guest reader in the Pavilion!! Shout out to Craig O’Neill for being the first to read in the new Pavilion. Always a treat to listen to him read! ❤️📚
Parents, if you see this Read Across America Bingo come home, have fun with it! The goal is to complete 20 squares. They don't have to be in a straight line. Write the name of the books you read on the back. And you can use up to 2 squares for one book. So...to be in the drawing, a minimum of 20 squares and 10 books on the back is needed. ❤️📚
Check it out!
Parents,
If the tornado sirens are going off, we can not legally let children check out until the threat has passed.
