Today, on 9 2 5 day, we’re celebrating the people who .
To everyone who has donated, volunteered, spread the word, partnered with us or simply believes every
child should have books of their own: thank you.
Because of you, 1,300 children in Frederick City receive a free book every month through
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
Your generosity helps bring the joy of reading
into homes, spark imaginations and
create special moments between children and the people who love them.
Dolly often called her Local Imagination Library Partners the “true heroes” of her program.
We’re so grateful to have a community that continues that spirit of giving.
Thank you for helping us carry on Dolly's legacy by giving back to the children of Frederick.

In the month of May, we learned all about the weather and our environment. We explored how weather changes and how we can help take care of the world around us. Farm to School visited our families and provided fresh food and a variety of plants for us to grow at home. This gave our children and families a wonderful opportunity to learn about gardening and healthy foods. We had so much fun through hands-on experiences, exploring, planting, and learning together throughout the month! 🌱☀️🌦️

This April, we spent the month learning all about emotions through fun, hands-on activities! Our favorite story was A Little SPOT: My First Emotions, which helped us explore feelings in an engaging and meaningful way.
