Happy (night before) back to school, East Kingston 🎒
We hope everyone who travels back to the classroom this week has a fantastic start to the school year.
✏️
Just as a reminder ➡ There is NO after school club this school season. With budget cuts and no adequate way to keep children and staff safe, we've had to put a pause on this program for the time being.

This week has been dedicated to re-organizing our backroom, which serves as both office and storage space. Our library was built without storage closets. There's a constant effort to stay organized with the dynamic flux of programming supplies (lots going out, lots coming in) 🔃.

Thank you for the donations from our Amazon wishlist https://a.co/06HYmOC5 and from items you find when cleaning out your homes.
