Announcements – Wed., April 26

April 26, 2023

Good morning! Today is Wednesday, April 26th and this week is National Library Week. Mrs. Koppitch has several displays and contests this week, so stop by the libraries to celebrate. All teachers have “caught you reading” coupons they can hand out to students. If you get one, make sure you put it in the box on the library desk for a chance to win a prize. Each morning we will have library trivia as well.

Listen up for today’s library week trivia. We’ll take the 3rd person who texts the correct answer to  352-562-1554. 

Wednesday’s Trivia: What library is home to bats who live in the library to serve as pest control for bugs?

Make sure you text your first and last name so we can bring you your prize! Again that number is 352-562-1554.
