Read for the Record, this Thursday!
We will be participating in Jumpstart’s annual Read for the Record this Thursday, bringing the community together to read Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.
Visit us this Thursday, all day, to read the story and make a snowflake, and play in the snow!*
Here is a poem to get you in the mood:

The Snowflake
By Walter de la Mare
Before I melt,
Come, look at me!
This lovely icy filigree!
Of a great forest
In one night
I make a wilderness
Of white:
By skyey cold
Of crystals made,
All softly, on
Your finger laid,
I pause, that you
My beauty see:
Breathe, and I vanish
Instantly!
Come, look at me!
This lovely icy filigree!
Of a great forest
In one night
I make a wilderness
Of white:
By skyey cold
Of crystals made,
All softly, on
Your finger laid,
I pause, that you
My beauty see:
Breathe, and I vanish
Instantly!
