We have had so much fun during our kick-off week for the summer reading program!

Tomorrow we will have outdoor activities planned. Be prepared to get wet!

Here are some pictures from the week. We can’t wait to enjoy the sunshine tomorrow as we read and play together!

Monday we made dinosaur crowns and bracelets. Everyone got to take their own geode home to break open.
Tuesday we painted rocks.
Today we planted seeds.
Tomorrow will be a day with outside activities.

We will have more fun and excitement every Monday in June and July!

Today the kids got to get up close and personal with some of our local heroes, and it was the last day of our Reading Week! We had so much fun this week and are already thinking about next year. We want to thank everyone who helped make this possible!
