Congratulations to these "One School One Book" winners! 🎉

We are excited to announce that our school library received a grant for an observation bee hive! The hive has been installed and the bees will be here soon. 🐝 The bees will enter and exit on the outside of the building into a plexiglass hive inside the building. This will provide students with a unique opportunity to observe bees at work in a safe and educational environment. The observation hive is secure, and students will be taught safety guidelines for interacting with it. Thank you for your support as we introduce this amazing learning opportunity! 😊

The rescheduled date for 5th grade's "Story and Song" program is Monday, April 15th at 6pm! Put it on your calendars!
