Storybook Pumpkin Patch
The Alward Library is growing a storybook pumpkin patch, and we need your help! Students can decorate a pumpkin to look like a favorite storybook character and bring it to the library to “plant” in our Storybook Pumpkin Patch! See the attached document for all the details!
Enchanted Forest Book Fair
You can also pre-order copies of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid - The Meltdown. Pre-orders need to be turned in no later than Thursday Oct. 25. The book is $8.99 plus tax so the total is $9.53.
Please see the attached order form below.Art Room News!
I also want to let you know we will be painting Ottawa county snow plows this spring during art class, so when they see them rolling down the street at parades over the summer, they will see their artwork on the front of the plow.
