This is the last guessing game of the school year and it's for all the MARBLES! (Not literally. The marbles belong to Mrs. Gee) 😄

Guess the number of marbles in the jar. Stop by the library to take your guess or email Mrs. Gee after you look at the picture.

The last day to guess will be Friday, May 17th. The winners will be announced Monday, May 20th. That's right, WINNERS! The 3 closest guesses will win a new book and their choice of Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish or Mike and Ike's.

One guess per person, please. Good Luck!

Students and Staff worked together these past few months to create a colorful Chameleon!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this fun activity. Stop by the library to see how the picture turned out with everyone's different coloring styles.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Bookmark Contest last month.

The winning bookmark was created by 11th grader Sadie V. Copies will be printed and available in the library for students and staff to use next week.
