Highland Elementary Library celebrated the season with an “Under the Sea” theme — students checked out cozy break reads, enjoyed Mrs. Weir’s Monarch storytime featuring Sydney & Taylor Explore the Whole Wild World, and giggled through Mo Willems’ Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Sleigh! 🐦🎅 We even closed with singing + sign language to “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” 🎶❤️
🎉Can we get a round of applause for our readers? 👏
📚 Kamryn = 2,000,000+ words and counting! 🏆 Kaydin, Zoe, Mavis & Yasmin are rising fast, and our ¾‑ and ½‑million readers are powering through. The ¼‑million club grows every week — community reading vibes are strong. 💪
Find your next page-turner before break from the Meridian Jr. High Library?
Run out of pages over break...swing by Julia Hull Public Library in Stillman and keep those word counts climbing. 🤩📖
Ready for a reading celebration! 🎉📚
Josephine has passed 4 MILLION words — WOW! 🚀 William, Samuel, Michael, Kyla, Hattie & Keegan keep the pace strong. 💪 Evelynn, Reid, Brextyn, Luna & Carter have hit 75% — so close! The half‑million group is about to burst through, and the quarter‑million club keeps growing.
Looking for books to read over break? Pop into the school library this week to load up — and families, don’t forget the Julia Hull Public Library in Stillman Valley for great check‑out options.
Which book will you curl up with over break? 💭📖
