On Friday, Feb. 10, we are decorating Valentine cookies. I will bake my secret recipe sugar cookies and we will use them. We will resume science experiments after Valentine’s Day, experimenting with flotation – “What makes it float?” The kids really enjoy the science projects. ~by Shawneene Kenan, librarian

Jean Borgeson returned home from a two month visit at Chandler, AZ, in the home of her daughter and family, Blake and Linda Hampton, Sierra, Sophia and Jayden. She was able to enjoy the Christmas events at school and church, as well as a little child care during the time when there was no school or early out days. Return trips are already being planned.
