Library News

Students arrived to see a few changes in the Library this month. Not a lot, just enough to make the new year different.

The fifth grade helped to set up a display of pictures and books about the Moon Landing which occurred 50 years ago on July 16, 1969. To them it is “old” history, but to many of us, including me, it is one of those memories you always remember. After locating books on the space program, astronauts, and the moon, we talked about some of the books in the display. Stop by and check it out when you are at the school. Watch for more information displays as the year goes on.

All the students are getting acquainted with the books, new and old. More than 100 new books have been added to the collection with some more to come. — Mrs. Matthews
