What a great opportunity for a free summer reading program! Miss Jennifer from the Cheshire Library always makes our time at the library so much fun while helping children build a love for reading and learning. We are so thankful for all the engaging activities and experiences she provides for our youth!

The Youth Center has been a part of the Green Team for several years! We are proud to help teach our youth the importance of recycling and caring for the environment through small everyday actions. From recycling materials properly to participating in community clean-up projects, our youth are learning how even small efforts can make a big difference in protecting our planet for the future 🌏♻️

MassDEP is proud to recognize students from 75 classrooms across Massachusetts with Green Team Awards for outstanding environmental stewardship and educational activities! 🌎♻️

Thank you for helping build a cleaner, greener Massachusetts! 🌱

Our Pre-K class worked on these Northern American black bear reports over the course of a few weeks. The children researched each subtopic and created pages focusing on habitats, diets, offspring, and body parts. They also designed covers for their reports and created table of contents pages. This project began during our “Animals All Around” unit and was completed during our “Growing and Changing” unit.

We love Thursday’s at the library 📚

Weekly visits from kids at the Youth Center are always a treat, and this week we made flowers for Mother's Day. As a reminder, we have weekly preschool storytime for the community on Tuesdays at 11am.
