We had a beautiful morning celebrating the end of the school year and the beginning of the summer season with our staff! The highlight of the day was picking cherries and gathering fresh produce together! Thank you to our incredible gardeners, classroom literacy assistants, library coordinators, and program directors!

We had a wonderful time inside and outside the library this week!

From garden visits to Marni coming to Bethune for an Author visit for our 5th graders! Her book, The Girl Who Found The Music, was a hit.

Kate also gave a great last read-a-aloud to our first graders this week at Bethune!

In the libraries, kids are finishing up with PSSAs and winding down with a good book afterwards, thanks to our wonderful library coordinators who have been bringing the library to them so everyone can have a stress-free book to enjoy!
