@laurenTarshis Would love a Yorktown book, as that’s where I teach, but what about Battle of Saratoga to tell more about Benedict Arnold, his story, and the story behind the boot monument. https://t.co/uUYl8EbH0n

@brittanywestAP @yes_falcons @krbolam @KingofReading31 The best part of my day is seeing their smiling faces singing along to The Reading Song from Doggyland with @SnoopDogg Nothing gets them more excited to read than our reading jam!!!

Instead of me showing them how to use our library, students are walking around showing each other what they know about all the places to go and how to use the YES Library!
