As the flowers bloom and the days grow warmer, we are excited to share some wonderful happenings in our library! This week, our students have been exploring the exciting stages of plant and animal growth. They have enjoyed reading classic springtime tales while also delving into real-world facts and photographs. The enthusiasm from our students has been infectious, and it’s heartwarming to see their creativity bloom.

Students also read Maya's Holi by Thrifty Umrigar, where they learned about Holi, the festival of colors, sharing, and love. They traveled with Maya as she visited her grandparents in India for the spring jubilee, enriching their understanding of diverse cultures.

Lastly, our Spring Book Fair with E. Shaver Bookseller will be held from May 5th-9th!
