📚✨ September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month! ✨📚

McAuliffe families, this is the perfect time to discover all that your local library has to offer! Did you know that the McAllen Public Library Main Library is 123,000 square feet—about two and a half football fields—and is recognized as the largest single-floor public library in the nation? 🤯📖

But it’s more than just a place to check out books! A library card can open the door to:

📚 Books, eBooks, audiobooks, and more
💻 Computers, technology, and digital resources
🎨 Free programs, activities, and events for children and families
🔎 Research and homework resources
📖 Storytimes and literacy programs
🌟 Quiet spaces to read, study, and learn
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Opportunities for the whole family to learn and explore together

We encourage all of our McAuliffe families to visit our local library and make reading, learning, and exploring a regular part of your family’s routine. A library card is a small card that can open up a BIG world of possibilities! 🌎📚

Visit McAllen Public Library and start your family’s next adventure! 🚀📖

🌟 Wellness Wednesday! 🏗️🚧
We’re throwing it back to last Friday when our Kinder through 5th grade Challengers had a blast playing Builders & Bulldozers in PE! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💪
This fun activity got everyone moving while working on speed, agility, coordination, and teamwork—all while having a great time! ⭐️
We’re sharing some of the fun today as a reminder that being active, moving our bodies, and having fun are all important parts of wellness! ❤️💙
Keep moving, Challengers! 🚀
