Welcome to Spring in Michigan! One day it is warm and sunny and the next it is raining, snowing or a mix of precipitation. Flowers started to bloom even though the warm weather tricked them into blooming just a little too early.


I hope you have time to read, play, and relax during Spring Break. Heading to the library is a great way to check out some new or old books, magazines and other materials to have on hand during break and also all the other days of the year! Thank you parents for encouraging your child to read every day. Modeling reading in front of your child/children helps to instill habits in them, even if it is a newspaper or magazine. Remember, Readers are Leaders!


Students continue to receive a book monthly to grow their home libraries. I purchase these books with donations from individuals and also the American Legion in South Haven donated funds. Thank you to all those who donated! I truly hope students are enjoying the books they get to keep and read. In March we were grateful for volunteers coming in to read to the students as Mystery Readers. The volunteers included over 40 parents, grandparents, state representatives (past & present), school board members, and community members. We enjoyed hearing them read different books and I do not think we ever heard one more than once. We even got to guess what each of their jobs were. Thank you to everyone who made March an extraordinary month!


Sincerely,

Jamie Walle

Haiku hikes are always fun

Playing out in the warm, wet

Seeing water cold and wet

I don't want to be done yet
