Mrs. Tez's classes created Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead ofrendas honoring loved ones, pets, and impactful people in student’s lives. These altars often have pictures of the honored, marigolds, calavera skulls, and things that they did or liked. It was a fun project for students to remember their loved ones and people who have made an impact in their lives!

Ms. Kolar joined us in celebrating Team 8-4's completion of 495 books in Q1!🥳
Nothing better than reading on cozy furniture while it rains.
These budding authors gave up two lunches to revise and polish their letters to "My Favorite Book Contest" sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. They were writing about how their favorite books changed them, encouraged them and helped them see the world differently. They are excited to write for an authentic writing opportunity! Thank you Mrs Averitt, 7th grade ELA teacher, for inspiring and supporting them.
📙Book clubs are in full swing. These students come into the library during lunch once a week to chat about their common-choice book. We love a community of readers. 📖
