The Saccarappa Masonic Lodge is sponsoring a Bikes for Books raffle throughout the elementary schools in Westbrook. Two bikes and helmets will be given away at each grade level and school. All your child has to do is read 5 short books or 100 pages to be entered into the raffle. The more books that your child reads, the more chances they have to win! We will be collecting entries until May 7th, and winners will be announced on May 11th. Entry slips were sent home in folders and emailed out to families as well. Happy Reading!
Students have been working on their book-finding skills in the library. They had to find examples of picture books, graphic novels, nonfiction, holiday books, and more! The scavenger hunt got their bodies moving and their brains focused on our goal!
