In a creative whirlwind, 7th graders crafted a museum gallery panel to spotlight the valuable lessons Ji-li hoped to pass on from her whirlwind experiences during the Cultural Revolution. Each student played the role of a curator, picking out a fitting artifact, linking it with a powerful quote, decoding a life lesson, and bridging it to today's world, bringing history around like a boomerang of wisdom!

📚 September Highlights at Our Libratory! 📚
Hello, book lovers and adventurers! September was a whirlwind of exciting activities and captivating stories at our library. We kicked off the month with great stories, where students were delighted by tales related to library skills and Patriot Day. They especially enjoyed the inspiring story of Mary Walker, the oldest student, who learned to read at the remarkable age of 114.
In addition to our storytelling wonders, students participated in a variety of fun-filled activities. A standout event was International Dot Day, where creativity knew no bounds! Students celebrated by diving into the world of augmented reality using the Quiver app. It was a magical experience to watch their artistic creations leap off the page and come to life, sparking imaginations and inspiring innovation.
Be sure to view the Dot Day video and see all the fun. Our check-out numbers continue to grow!
Happy reading! 📖✨
