Super Citizens are here to help! On Thursday, 4th Graders headed to Arbor Lodge to help prepare the grounds for Arbor Day.

This event brings the lessons of the 2 yr Super Citizen program full circle. And we are grateful for the volunteers and community partners that make this event one of our favorites!

Have you ever wondered what Book Bestie day is REALLY like? Here's a great takeaway from our BB Leader, Teresa Albers. This work matters!

It was a magical day! Here are a few things I witnessed today. A student from NCECBVI read to second graders from the braille book she had received this morning. IMPRESSIVE!!!
One class was outside playing "Leapfrog" after reading Silly Sally. I saw kids with props from "If You Give a Pig a Pancake," and I spied a class eating pancakes.
I saw a group of kindergarten students make paper dolls of themselves hanging upside down (Silly Sally). A second-grade class went to Australia(well touched it on the globe anyway). I heard a volunteer used "voices" reading "The Gingerbread Man" and the little ones giggled!
I noticed a volunteer reading with rabbit ears and another showing props to help explain the "big" words in "Peter Rabbit".
I saw students reading their books and writing about the book they had just heard. There were some farm activities at Head Start, and of course, there was a game of "Simon Says" and the teacher was the first one out!!!

Above all, I heard caring conversations, saw hugs and heard laughter. It's about more than the books - it's about the relationships! Together we are giving the students in Nebraska City an EDGE by showing up each month!

We're challenging tweens ages 10-13 to read in the library. The catch? No electronics, no talking, and no leaving the room. Who will have what it takes to outlast the competition? If prizes were on the line, could you read for three hours? Spots are limited, so register now!

Snacks provided. One five minute break allowed.
