Winter News

Winter is upon us and the Children’s Room is happy to carry on some of our favorite traditions. Our Thanksgiving Food Drive will be running until November 20th so please bring nonperishable food donations to the children’s room.

We will also be continuing with our Book Angels program but in a slightly different way. We are encouraging monetary donations which will be used to purchase books for the children in our district. We look forward to the start of the new year and wish you all a healthy and happy season!

What We Are Reading...
That's What Dinosaurs Do, by Jory John
Jory John delivers another charming tale about being yourself and the struggle to fit in with the expectations of others. Dinosaur struggles with the advice of experts, the expectations of the townspeople, and in the end, has to make a tough decision about denying their true nature. Is it worth it to sacrifice your identity to make other people happy?

Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson
A series of surprising events tears young Jim Hawkins from his familiar life at the Admiral Benbow Inn and sends him on a high seas adventure that tests his courage and teaches him that not everything is black and white and you never know who you can trust. Murderous and deceitful pirates, high seas combat, deserted islands and buried treasure frame a timeless coming of age story and a true adventure classic.
