A big thank you to the wonderful volunteers from the Saratoga Children's Literacy League for spending time with our UPK classes last week!

Our little readers had so much fun exploring Clifford and Ollie's Bookbus, listening to a fun story during storytime, and getting creative with a bee craft alongside the volunteers. It was such a fun morning filled with books, smiles, and creativity!

Thank you for bringing the joy of reading to our UPK classrooms!
