If you can't decide on which book to check out for Summer Reading, then go to the Timber TV YouTube page to see the teachers talk about their choices. We have asked teachers to come by the studio and give a one minute pitch to convince you to give their book a read. The list will grow in the next couple of weeks as more teachers stop by. Please don't forget to subscribe to our page! https://www.youtube.com/@WHSTimberTV

The Photography Club will meet for the last time this year on Thursday, June 5th. We will celebrate with the theme of "Favorite Memories". You can share a picture of your favorite memory from this year. It has been a great year this year for the Photography Club. We are always looking for and welcoming new members in the coming year. You only need a phone with a camera but if you have a great camera you'd like to use we welcome that as well. We are here to have fun and take pictures and make friends. You do not have to have any photography experience to join. We hope everyone has a great, restful and safe summer and we will see you in September. Take lots of summertime pictures. Anyone that would like to join us next fall can contact Mrs. D'Agostino at jdagostino@walpole.k12.ma.us or follow our instagram: @walpole_photography123
