One of the most requested items on our survey last year was learning kits. We planned all Winter and Spring, and now that school is out- we are ready to share!

We are excited to launch our Activity Backpacks- filled with books and activities to support early literacy and learning.

This project was truly a collaborative effort: Community member and educator Gillian designed each backpack, and funding to purchase the items was provided by Early Literacy Grant, with additional support for early learning technology from NEK Broadband .

The door to display these items was designed and built to match the historic Alice Lord Goodine House by carpentry LLC . Thank you everyone for all the work to make this happen!
