Smiling 1st graders at @D59Byrd who wish they could come back tomorrow and a great time getting to know some 5th graders at @D59SaltCreek with a fun activity outside! First week back at school in the books! #1district1team

They loved hearing @PatriciaToht 's two new books

[Sara Magnafichi @MsMagnafichi]

We are so grateful @PatriciaToht could come and visit the #MagnaFirsties yesterday. It was the first time they met a 'real author'. I appreciate you so much and they were still buzzing about how excited they were today @D59Byrd #d59learns

Cannot wait to meet Nat the Cat and introduce him to my students! So excited for more stories from @Jarrett_Lerner that are accessible to young readers! Run to pre-order this one! I sure did! Fun fact: Did you know that pre-orders are really important to authors and illustrators?

A great night celebrating @MrSchuReads' new book, This is a School at @AndersonsBkshp! A perfect book to celebrate on National School Librarian Day w all of my librarian friends!

[Kim Jablonski @kimjablonski]

Loved seeing some of our @D59Byrd students have a chance to laugh and get silly on this Pi(e) Day as a reward for showing responsible behaviors the last couple of weeks. Very grateful for all of our awesome staff that volunteered to get messy!
