It is wonderful to see kids and adults interacting over a shared reading experience but to have this "alliance" spring up because of the compassion of kids to kids, is just beyond words. It also demonstrates how much the parents and students LOVE their librarian!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253911566818343892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-91623626031842536032010-03-23T21:01:33.959-04:002010-03-23T21:01:33.959-04:00I am also excited to see where this "alliance...I am also excited to see where this "alliance" between our buildings goes. There are so many differences between the two and yet there two important constants. Kids are kids, no matter their background. And, as teachers we always hope that we give our students, where ever they come from, positive and memorable experiences. I think this has the potential to be a really memorable event for both schools!

Just another reason we need to keep working so hard to make sure libraries stay open, are re-opened, and that kids have books in their hands. Thank you so much for sharing, I can't wait to hear how things turn out!The1stdaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06701073212264414302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-19266469956007384952010-03-23T07:33:53.154-04:002010-03-23T07:33:53.154-04:00I enjoyed Homer.

It sounds similar to my school on some levels and like your sister's school on other levels. Our study body has Aftican Refuges that have recently arrived in Denver and the Mayor's son. <br /><br />Our parents and students have started a program called Backpacks for Kids. Each Thursday the backpacks are filled with food and sent home to families in need. It has spread to four other schools. It is amazing what kids can do. <br />Have a wonderful day and thank you for letting me see a part of your day.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108386823148943433noreply@blogger.com
