Summer is officially here! Summer reading sign ups started and we held our first summer class! The Art in the Stacks class created sun paintings. This class was geared towards younger artists. We discussed washing and drying our paintbrushes and learned how to mix colors.  

On 5/27/25 Ms. Kim read 2 stories about outdoor adventures. In one story, a bear took an adventure from the forest to the city. In the other, a cat took an adventure from the city to the forest. In the end, they both wanted to be back home.  

Ms. Cymre read about adventures under the stars.
