Flip flops on the beach

Our last Summer Reading event just for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders is going to be a blast . . . . a beach blast!  Join us for a Beach Party on Monday, July 11, 2022 at either 4:00 or 6:30 p.m.  We'll hunt for sea creatures in the sand, toss a beach ball around, and go fishing.  We'll also weave a rainbow fish and turn a clothespin into a tiny but ferocious shark.  Registration is a must, so sign up online (by clicking on the blue time slot in this blog) or by phone (205-444-7830).

Of course, no beach party would be complete without a little beach reading!  Here are some of the newest beach books for grades 1-3!
