Fourth and fifth-grade students celebrated National Poetry Month in April in the Library with lessons on Black Out Poetry. Blackout poetry is the process of taking a piece of written text from a book, newspaper, or magazine and removing or marking out words in order to come up with your own poetry creation. The students practiced this technique and created their own pieces of work.
Books were received from the recent Book Blast Treasure Map book drive. We were able to provide 479 free books for summer reading to students from pre-school through 8th grade. Every student received at least one book. Thank you to the parents who helped their children with the treasure maps. Also, thank you to Dvorak Convenience Stores (BJ's Conoco) for your community donation. We look forward to more books for next year!

Middle school students will be attending field trips this Wednesday, May 10th. The ladies were invited to BHSU for a STEM day at the campus and many wanted to attend when they heard about it. The gentlemen are going to Wonderland Cave, lunch in Sturgis Park, and hiking Bear Butte. Parents are welcome to join the hike and lunch portion of the boys' trip. I do not know if there is enough room on the tours to add parents since we are trying to change the time we attend so we do not have rain during our hike. Permission slips went out today with the middle school students. The ladies' bus leaves at 7:35 and their itinerary is attached to their permission slip. The gentlemens' bus leaves at 8:00 and their itinerary will be sent out as soon as we receive word from Wonderland Cave.
