Tescott Library Receives Donation Of Books

Earlier this year Mrs. Castillo received information about The Toys for Tots Literacy Program and responded. This week we were very excited when Tescott Library received 2 boxes of books and a letter stating:

It is with pleasure that I let you know that your organization has been chosen by your local The UPS Store location to be the beneficiary of the Toys for Tots LIteracy Program in our community.

The Toys for Tots Literacy Program is an initiative of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation and The UPS Store Network. Monetary donations made at local The UPS Store locations to the Toys for Tots Literacy Program are used to purchase books for children.

Thank you for your support of Tescott Schools!

Read Across America 2021

celebration of Read Across America week, Horton Hears a Who by Dr. Seuss was the featured book.

Students observed doing Random Acts of Kindness, were nominated and their names put in a drawing.

Students talked about kindness and helping others because after all-"A person's a person, no matter how small!"

The drawing was held Friday with Henry being the winner.

William Allen White

5:30 a.m. Saturday found the excited William Allen White qualifiers leaving for Emporia. After arriving at Emporia State we visited the college bookstore where those who didn't have a book were able to purchase one. The autograph session was next on the agenda where they were able to meet the authors, get their books autographed and take pictures. Sara Pennypacker was the winner of the 3-5 grade list writing the book Pax about a fox who has to learn to be without his boy. Jason Reynolds was chosen the winner for the 6-8 grade list with his book Ghost about a young teenager who joins a track team and found more than he expected. After Starbucks, watching the mini plays, doing crafts listening to the authors speak and watching them receive their awards, we were off to explore the local cuisine before heading back home.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to spend the day with some of the wonderful readers we have in our community.

Thank you, for your continued support of the reading programs we have at school.
