We're off and running into our best library-centered lives.

Hello Panthers, we've had an amazing school library start. October will be filled with the usual activities include Fall, and Halloween. But will continue with 2D and 3D creations with Strawbees. Don't know what that is? Well, you better not miss your library visits. October is also Digital Citizenship Months. We will learn to be our best online versions of ourselves.
