Let reading ring! Last Saturday, the Jessamine County Public Library held a Literacy Bell party at the Courthouse. Any child who has independently read their very first book within the last two years was invited to this celebration! At the Literacy Bell party, children receive a certificate commemorating their very first book, write their name in the "Book of Names," and of course, ring the courthouse bell for all to hear! Join us in celebrating Tyler's accomplishment! The next Literacy Bell party will be in the Spring! Please contact the Jessamine County Public Library with any questions.
Check out some of the projects students have been doing in STEM during October and November! Our students have been working hard to learn what it means to be an engineer, remember that we CAN do hard things, and improve our design skills with the Engineering Design Process!
