Global Connections! Madrid, Spain

Global Connections!

Madrid, Spain

December’s Hot Topic is

“Giving Back”

Caring is Sharing

December is the month when we think about the holidays, family, and traditions passed down from generation to generation.

We reflect on our lives; the blessings and challenges.

love, caring, and sharing.

We have been BLESSED and INSPIRED by the grant we received from AASL  which has richly added to our multicultural collection of library books. Each month we are reaching out to students, our KMS community and our local community sharing books, conversation, and activities.

This month we are making global connections, as Mrs. Beckham travels to Madrid, Spain with care packages for children in the public library,

Municipal Public Library Dámaso Alonso in Madrid

Students have decorated gift bags, written letters, made ornament and small gifts to give to students visiting the library this holiday season as a way to give back to our global community!

Hey KMS

We are having a Book Swap!

For every 2 books you bring in,

you get to choose 1 book to keep!  

From now until December 20th, you can turn in books to the KMS library and then on Wednesday, December 21st you can come during enrichment and pick out your new books. All the extra books will be donated to the

KMS Birthday Book Collection

and local charities such as the

“Give 5, Read 5” Summer Reading Program

which supplies our local North Carolina schools with free books for kids.

The Gift that keeps on giving… READING!
