Hour of Code Moved to January 2023
This week was computer science week, an annual event which seeks to inspire students to learn computer science.
While we'd love to celebrate now, due to other wonderful events happening in the library and the school, we decided to postpone our Hour of Code event until January. For this year's Hour of Code, students will have the chance to explore, play, and create with computer science—and we’ve got plenty of activities to get them started. Stay tuned for more information coming in January, but for now, enjoy this special message from NASA at the International Space Station.

Thankful Trees Display
Our Thankful Trees display has been a hit! Starting in mid-November, visitors to the library were asked to "leaf" a note sharing an author or title they were thankful for this season. It looks beautiful!
Stick Together Mosaic Art Poster
This community art project has now made its debut in the library. Along with bringing people together to collaborate, StickTogether mosaics provide a chance to focus on the “A” in STEAM and offer embedded opportunities to foster critical thinking, prediction and social skills.
The first image we will complete is that of a tiger, our mascot!
Students and staff are invited to contribute to the poster anytime.

World Kindness Day: 11.13.2022
World Kindness Day is observed globally on November 13th. It was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement and promotes the importance of being kind to not only each other, but also to one's self and the global community.
IRS is celebrating World Kindness Day this year! On Monday, November 14th, each student will be given a Kindness Bingo Board. If a student earns BINGO, they can come to the library for a prize!
Let's remember that there is good in this world, and we can continue to spread kindness throughout.
