🌱🌻 A little seed can do big things! Week 8 of the Summer Reading Roadshow is planting some roots! ✨
We are rolling up to the front entrance of Poyner Elementary this Tuesday, July 28 at 11:30 AM for a storytime all about growth, change, and second chances! 🏫
ㅤ
This week, we are reading the smash-hit favorite The Bad Seed by Jory John! 📖He’s got a bad temper, bad manners, and a seriously bad attitude—but is he really all that bad? This hilarious and heartwarming story is a wonderful reminder that we aren't defined by our past mistakes, and with a little determination, anyone can choose to grow into a "good seed"! 🌻❤️
ㅤ
To bring the story's powerful lesson to life, we are going completely green! We’re going beyond the pages with a hands-on gardening activity where kids will get to plant their very own seeds in plastic cups to take home and watch grow! 🪴
ㅤ
Bring the kids out to enjoy a great story, get their hands a little dirty, and grab a delicious free lunch! 🍏 Just a reminder that a grown-up needs to stay on-site for the fun. See you at Poyner!

🖍️🎨A colorful protest is coming to town! Week 7 of the Summer Reading Roadshow is on the way! ✨
We are rolling into the front entrance of Highland Elementary this Tuesday, July 21 at 11:30 AM for a storytime full of big personalities and bright colors! 🏫
ㅤ
This week, we are diving into the hilarious bestseller The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt! 🖍️ Imagine opening your box of crayons only to find a stack of letters saying they've had enough! Red is exhausted from working holidays, Blue needs a break from coloring all that water, and Yellow and Orange are no longer speaking because they both claim to be the color of the sun! It is a laugh-out-loud reminder to think outside the box and embrace creativity. ☀️
ㅤ
To bring this vibrant story to life, we are going beyond the pages and rolling out a massive butcher paper roll with boxes of crayons right on the sidewalk! 🎨 Kids will get to work together on a giant community mural, and we’ll have coloring books on hand for everyone to show their favorite crayons some extra love.
ㅤ
Bring the kids out to enjoy the story, color outside the lines, and grab a delicious free lunch! 🍏
