National Disability History and Awareness Month

National Cyber Security Awareness Month

Story Walks are kind of a new craze taking place in public parks and schools as well. The pages of a book are displayed on individual signs, and you walk from sign to sign to read the story.

Students at Washington-Franklin are now enjoying story walks thanks to the creativity of Library Media Specialist, Mrs. Donna Womack.

The first story walk book was Our Class is a Family by Shannon Olsen. In this book, students learn "their classroom is a place where it's safe to be themselves, it's okay to make mistakes, and it's important to be a friend to others."

Now in its 18th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month—previously known as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month—continues to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity across our Nation, ensuring that all Americans have the resources they need to be safer and more secure online. Be looking for resources on our social media and website each week this month to help you and your family to stay safe online!
