High Fives to our Summer Reading crew on another amazing Summer Reading Program! Ms. Ham and Mrs. Larrisey did it again!

Readers from preschool through upper elementary circumnavigated the globe as Explorers and Globetrotters through the magic of books,

crafts, foods, and activities from around the world. In addition to socialization, literacy, and learning, the kids loved the real-live Alpacas

who came to visit, as well as the annual water fight on the lawn, and the awards and family night picnic. Mark your calendars for NEXT

YEAR so you don’t miss out!

Calling all Book-nappers: Yes, you! Please return all overdue or forgotten books, tapes, CD-players, and movies so others can enjoy them.

THANK YOU!
