Our Archway Arete library has officially launched and we had our very first visit yesterday! It was such a joy to watch the student's faces beam with excitement as they selected a book! There is an orange slip of paper stating when the book is due (a 3 week time period). Students are welcome to turn-in their book before the 3 week mark. We are looking for volunteers to help students check out books. Sign up here to serve! Our next class library visit will be on January 18th from 8-:115.
Have a wonderful week!
In pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness,
Sarah Kaye
