Ponca Library would love to share some of your journaling entries. You can submit them to the library via e-mail at librarian@cityofponca.org.
We would also love to hear from Ponca students and how they feel about finishing the school year at home.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing. I totally agree that we are not there yet but I have faith this will pass soon. Be safe and stay healthy. From all of us to all of you. We hope to see everyone soon. Cheers. Dave.
