Happy Summer!
The building may be closed, but there are plenty of fun ways to learn at home! Check out the activities and resources below! I've also added tons of summer reading opportunities, and hope everyone continues to utilize Sora for ebooks over the summer. Happy reading!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wilson
