Paredes Library Monthly Newsletter
February 2019
Overview
The library hosted the Paredes and Akins Counselors who helped our students fill out their choice sheets for next year. A special thank you to the following teachers who brought their students to the library this month: Burrow, Cluchey, Dailey, Hairston, Norris, Powell, Tiffin and Weber. We were able to order some games with our book fair proceeds. Our students love the new Giant Jenga game! We also ordered Rubix cubes, a chess set, checkers and more games we will put out soon.
Giant Jenga Fun!
Valentine Centers
Our students really enjoyed the Valentine centers this year! Our 6th graders had fun making Valentine's and our 7th and 8th graders had a blast decorating cookies and playing Valentine Tic-Tac-Toe.
