This month we're studying Kenya. If you have any artifacts, souveniers, books, or photos from Kenya, we'd love to have your student bring them in and share them with the class. We just ask that kids learn a bit about the items with you at home, so that they can teach us what they know when they share in class.

Last year we had an overwhelming variety of books for our students to choose from. We appreciate your help in asking neighbors, friends, and family for donations of gently used children's books. We look forward to seeing the happy faces of our readers when they see how many books they have for summer reading!
