St. Benedict Preparatory Library A page for keeping up with the exciting things happening in the St. Benedict Preparatory Elementary and Secondary libraries.

This week, we have been saying good-bye, signing yearbooks, and giving out LOTS of hugs :)

You have all been so kind when speaking to me in the hallways about my leaving St. Ben's. I appreciate your support and I will somehow let you know where I end up (the kids really want to know!).

I hope to see you again, as I am sure that I will attend St.Ben's events and visit to see how everyone is doing. I'm sure I won't be able to stay away! Thanks again so very much :)

P.S. I have also been taking pictures with each class (except for kindergarten due to scheduling), so if you are interested in my sending you a copy, please email at [email protected]. I can also send a copy of the book club picture from earlier this week.

My heart was very full yesterday when close to 100 students who have attended book club over the last 4 or 5 years stopped into the library for a photo. I asked Mrs. Feely to announce that any student who had been in book club should stop by. In my mind, I thought only students from this year would come, but then they came streaming into the library in larger groups than I expected. We were missing a few friends, but it was a wonderful visual of our time together in book club

Ms. Sharon from the Sulzer branch of the Chicago Public Library visited the 1st-5th students about the Summer Learning Challenge. This year's theme is "Explore on the Go!" For more information, please see the sheet in your child's folder and/or http://www.chipublib.org/browse_program/summer-learning-challenge/. Kindergarten students were on a field trip today, but should have a sheet to bring home, as well.
