📚❤️ Something Special Has Arrived!

We’re excited to introduce the newest additions to Keith Elementary: our Little Free Library & Peace Poles!

📖 The Little Free Library is ready to welcome readers of all ages. Take a book, leave a book, and help spread the joy of reading throughout our community. This beautiful little library was donated by a generous Keith family as a lasting gift.

✌️ The Peace Poles were donated by our 2025-2026 5th graders. These colorful, student-decorated art poles feature inspirational words & messages of kindness, hope, love, & peace - bringing a little extra joy to the front of our school.

We’re so grateful for their creativity & generosity.

📚Read. Share. Inspire. Spread a little peace.
Thank you for making Keith a little brighter❤️
