"Today a reader, tomorrow a leader" - W. Fusselman
Have you read Only One You or You Be You? They are books written and illustrated by Linda Krantz. Students have been learning about being proud of who they are and celebrating each other’s differences through Krantz’s work. The first grade Cold Spring cubs have focused on what makes them unique in their artwork that will be on display at the library from March 8 through April 28.
To see more, stop in the library to see their display.
