End of Summer Reading Party!!

We had our End of Summer Reading/Rescue Hero Party last night, and what a great success!!  Firemen, EMTs and Police Officers, plus their vehicles, kids, cake, a movie and prizes!  What more could we ask for!

THANK YOU TO OUR MACEDON

RESCUE HEROES!!!

(for graciously volunteering their time)

 EVERY HERO HAS A STORY

 

Newbery Challenge

We had a great time at our Newbery Challenge Pizza Party this year, although we were sad that only a few of the kids who completed the challenge could actually come to the party.  These happy smiles are only a few who read six of the Newbery winner or honor books this summer.  The more we have the more we learn about some of these great books, and we put them on our "must read" lists.

Anyway, congratulations to all who met the challenge!!

Thank you Reliant Community Credit Union for providing such great food!

Hero Read

Friday morning Fire Marshal Jeremiah Shufelt read some stories to kids about firefighters, firefighting, and Curious George at the fire station.  He graciously handed out coloring books, too!







Thank you to all our local heroes who have taken time out of their hero schedules to read to our kids this summer!!

Week 6 of Summer

This week's Adult Summer Reader:  Bill Roland!!

















Tail Waggin' Tutors, Macy and Tessa, heard a lot of stories this week.

 

 

 
We finished up our six weeks of story times with our own "Olympic" games!

And thank you, Phil Klingler, for another fun day Geocaching.  I heard from some it was the best of the summer!!

 

More of Week 5

Wow!!  The fun continued in week 5.................

Local hero Jim Bush read to the kids for our "Hero Read" program.  Jim is such a hero that he wrote his own book for the story time (The Almost Amazing Bernaldo....and his very tricky friends)and handed a copy to each kid who came.  They kids then got to "illustrate" the book themselves!  How wonderful is that!!

 

Later that afternoon, Dan the Snakeman came to share his love of snakes and other creatures.  Young and old enjoyed them all (sorta).

And on Sunday we welcomed Open Hand Theater and their presentation of "The Secret of the Puppet's Book".  What an amazing show!!  I hope we can have them back to share more of their puppet wizardry with us.

 

Week 5 of Summer

We have had a busy, fun-filled summer so far this year!  We began with more Tail Waggin' Tutors.  This was Coupar's last week to enjoy the readers, but Macy and Tessa will be back for one more week.

 
Minecraft Mania is continuing to fill the house

and Phil Klingler was back with his popular Bridge Building.  He's been doing this long enough that little brothers and sisters of the first class are able to build their own bridges!

Congratulations to this week's Adult Summer Reader:  Kristin Kofahl!
