Author Previews New Work at Willow School

On May 4th, Mrs. Homrich’s 1st-grade class welcomed author Tracy Watland back to Room 29 at Willow School—welcomed “back” because Watland was once a student in that very classroom! She treated the students to readings of her latest books, including the world premiere of “Abby’s Magic Music: Carried Away” due out in August.

Students' Home Libraries Get a Boost

The bright green trucks from Bernie's Book Bank pulled up to our schools on April 26th to deliver free books for our PreK through 6th-grade students! It’s always so much fun for our students to discover which books are in their bags and to trade books with friends. Thank you, Bernie’s Book Bank!
