Technology/Social Media Tip
From the Stoller Library
- Stoller Reads Everywhere! Spring Break is a great time to dive into a book! Take a photo of your child reading his or her book (or they can take a selfie), or a photo of the book, and post it on Instagram with #stollerreadseverywhere. Students can also bring a physical print to the library after break. It will be fun to see where and what our amazing readers are reading!
- Thanks to all of the students and families who supported the Book Fair this year! A special thank you to Sara O'Donnell who coordinated the Fair, and to all of the parents who volunteered at the Fair!
