Staff Appreciation Week – THIS WEEK!
RAFFLE WINNERS ANNOUNCED TODAY!
2nd Grade Brownie Troop Book Drive
The 2nd Grade Brownie Troop understands the power of reading and wishes all children had easy access to books year round. So they are collecting new or gently used books to donate to Bernie’s Book Bank the first week of May (5/2-6). Bernie’s Book Bank provides free quality books to under-served children in the Chicagoland area. Collection tables will be set up outside the Library and the Intermediate Wing. Please consider donating a book or two and help the girls reach their goal of giving 100 books to children in need! If you have any questions, please contact Kirsten Clancy at kirstenclancy@yahoo.com.
