From February 20th to March 3rd, the Bucks County Free Library will be running a Virtual

Library Card Drive. You can visit all 7 branches in person or take advantage of some great digital

resources right from home.

The digital resources are completely free with your library card. Watch movies and TV shows on

your smart TV with Hoopla. Enjoy books and audiobooks on your e-reader, tablet, or smart

phone with CloudLibrary. Get homework help from live tutors on Brainfuse HelpNow. Find

helpful facts, articles, and photos for school assignments by searching through the many kid-

safe resources in Power Kids.

Here's how to register your child for a library card:

1. Click on this link to go to the online library card application for students:

Bucks County Free Library Card

2. Enter the password: $choolYear2022

3. Fill out the application with your child's information. If you have more than one child,

fill out a separate application for each child. Students ages 14+ can fill out their applications.

4. The library will set up your child(ren)'s library card account(s). You'll get an e-mail with the account information as soon as the account is ready. This means you can

start using it right away, even before you have the physical card.

5. After the drive has ended, your child will receive their physical library card from your

school librarian, Mr. Nagle.

Below are this week's questions. We'd love you to participate!

MONDAY: What's the first book you remember reading?

TUESDAY: What is your favorite book of all time?

WEDNESDAY: Have you ever read a book that made you laugh out loud?

THURSDAY: How do you choose books you want to read?

FRIDAY: What books have you recommended to others?

All English Learners and their families are invited to our YMCA Night this Tuesday, February 28th. This is a fun way for our multilingual families to connect and enjoy some physical fitness!

We will first meet for announcements and a healthy snack. Then students will be able to play soccer and basketball in the gym. We’ll end the night with an exciting game of dodgeball. The invitation is here in English and Spanish. Please respond to Mrs. Coyle if you haven’t yet, ecoyle@qcsd.org. See you soon!

Over the next few weeks, students will start playing Volleyball in PE. Students will learn basic volleyball skills that they can utilize in a game like the bump and set. Our third through fifth grade students will eventually participate in a volleyball game. Kindergarten through second grade will focus on hand-eye coordination activities and practice hitting the volleyball and keeping a ball in the air with a partner. We have a lot of fun, physically active games and activities for students to work on over the next few weeks in volleyball!
