Our Book Character Celebration continues, but we have decided to cancel the Car Parade.
We made this decision due to the COVID advisory level changing to red and cases rising. We miss you all and want to see your creative costumes, but keeping all healthy and safe is our priority.
We still have lots of fun planned for Wednesday. Wear your costume and join our Zoom activities. Schedule is coming soon.
