PTA
The PTA recently purchased approximately 150 new hardcover books for the library. Many of these books have been on display so the kids can browse before they go on the shelves. Also, a few parents recently painted and spruced up the space. Thank you to Brooke Bolinske, Jennifer Robinson, Dana O'Connor, Jacqueline Cote, and librarian Jamie Gentry for working hard to make our library great for the kids!
