In a world where you can be anything Be Kind. Camp Kindness is the theme for our Summer Reading program that continues through the month of June. We have 52 children in preschool to first grade registered for story time. For our first Story Time, the children made kindness monsters after listening to the story Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller. If you are out and about, you might see the Kindness Monsters in various store windows. The children wanted to share that we should all be kind to one another. To finish out the first week of summer reading, we read the story Bear Hug by Jean Reidy. On Thursday, June 8, the students in grades 2 – 5 gathered for activity time lead by Erica Brown, intern with the Antelope County Extension Office. We are excited that we have had such a great turnout for the beginning of our summer reading program. Below are pictures from Story Time and Activity time.
