There were some very special visitors in the Library this week! Mrs. Aeschliman surprised Mrs. Hoffmire’s class and read to them. Mr. Clark read “Clark the Shark Loves Christmas” to the other Mrs. Aeschlimans class… and even the Grinch dropped by. Mayhem ensued with shrieks of children running and giggling. It’s been a great week!







Issue 4 of the Pet Echoes is out now!
