Grandparents read in the library...

Grandparent’s Day extended into Grandparent’s Week in the KES library! Mrs. Miller, librarian, extended an invitation to grandparents from each class to join the library class periods and/or Buddy Reading this week. This was a great opportunity for grandparents and grandchildren alike to bond with a shared reading experience.

If you are a grandparent, and didn’t have an opportunity this week to visit our library this week, we would like to extend an open invitation to visit our library classes or Buddy Reading times as a guest reader. Call Mrs. Miller at the elementary office, 334-2757, for more information.

Grandparents read in the library

KES celebrated "Grandparents Day" for an entire week by inviting grandparents to read to classes in the library. Each day during library time and during our Buddy Reading times on Friday, grandparents of Kirbyville students read stories to the students. It was a great time for everyone!

We shouldn't limit all this fun to one week per year. Are you a parent or grandparent that would like to join us in the library and read aloud to a class? Please contact librarian, Terry Miller, at 334-2757 if you would like to be a guest reader in our library.

Celebrating Grandparents in the Library

Mrs. Horr's kindergarten class was walking down the hall to lunch following the school hallway procedures when they were greeted by the principal and a pair of grandparents. The excitement was apparent in the body language and smile of the "grandchild" who belonged to the grandparents. He was working hard to decide whether to let his feelings explode and jump out of line to hug them or continue to show his grandparents what a "big kindergartner" he was along with his classmates. He chose the latter with a big grin in his "bubble." His grandparents joined the class for lunch and then read a story at their library time.

This was just one great experience among many as the KES library welcomed grandparents as guest readers all week this past week to celebrate Grandparents Day which is Sunday, Sept. 14. Each class had the opportunity to have a special guest read a story to them during the libary time. Several of the grandparents also came early and enjoyed lunch with their grandchild.

If you are a grandparent and you didn't have the opportunity to read to a class during this special week, contact librarian, Terry Miller, who would be happy to schedule a time for you to visit. If you are interested in other volunteer opportunities at KES, please call the office and ask to speak to your grandchild's teacher or to the principal.
