Strengths Highlight: DEPENDABILITY
Our strengths leaders planned out a fun obstacle course for partners to navigate. One person was blindfolded and they had to DEPEND on their partner to get them through the course without harm. It was so fun to watch!
Dependability: Trust is important to you, and you care about being seen as responsible and trustworthy. People count on you to do what you say you will do. When you make a promise, you mean to keep it.

LIBRARY CORNER!
Stock up on books before the break!
The winter season is upon us, and one of the best things to do in the colder weather is to cozy up with a nice book and admire the outside elements while keeping warm and toasty inside!
Your library has many winter/holiday-themed books to get you into the spirit. Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, picture books – we’ve got a nice mix here and a delivery of new books just in time for winter break. You can check out up to three books. Come in out of the cold and visit us soon!
Library Hours: 7:30-3:20
