Hello again from Snow Hill! Lots of fun things happening now that school is out. We are involved in many activities and programs and contests. Currently we are preparing a reading contest for July. Using questions found in the Newberry and Caldecott winner books we hope to encourage our kids to read and answer as many of the questions as they can. Of course there are prizes and winners but the real winners will be the kids who read these great books.

We are also awarding ice cream cone coupons to kids we " catch reading" We stole this idea from the adult contest "caught reading" and we are offering instant gratification in the form of a coupon donated by our local ice cream store Two Scoops! A win win scenario for everyone.

Along with our summer programming we also have a wonderful volunteer who is doing some of out story time activities. On Pajama day the kids wore their pajamas and wrapped themselves in a sleeping bag while Miss Kelle read to them. We are looking forward to train day when the kids will "travel" across the street to the Snow Hill Canoe Company to see the model train display.
We have lost of plans for future events so stay tuned!
