Starting the planning for Summer Reading program
Family Read Week was last week—137 participants on November 13th. We had pizza, cookies, games, crafts, and a puppet show. Kids were able to make buttons, bracelets, binoculars, and coloring activities. The Wizard of Oz puppet show was presented by Annie and Carli Strasser, Maggie and Sam Matthews, and Ezra and Stella Stone. Children had the opportunity to win prizes by participating in the numerous activities and being present. Family Read Week is time for families to be together!
