Spring Into Reading…
Kings School Wins “We the People” Grant A Second Time...
This spring Kings School was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association. Our school received 17 books as part of the “We the People” Bookshelf grant program. The theme of this year’s Bookshelf is “Picturing America.” These books are in coordination with artwork won by Mrs. L. last year.
Congratulations to the “We the People” Student Raffle Winners
After reading one of the selected “We the People Titles” students wrote a book summary or told how the book related to the theme Created Equal. All who participated were placed in a library raffle. To promote reading, students won prizes donated from a local Aflac Insurance Agency and Mrs. Butler.
