A BIG thank you to the Citrus County Education Foundation for sponsoring the 1st Library Program!

We were thrilled to welcome our 1st special guest reader, Ms. Sunshine Arnold, who delighted our students with a reading of Pete the Cat and the Surprise Teacher.

Our students were engaged from beginning to end, answering questions and participating in the story. The best part? Each student received their very own copy of the book to take home and enjoy!
