September 2021

What an amazing turnout we had on Thursday for our Ice Cream Social! It was wonderful to see so many Hart families enjoying ice cream treats and the fabulous outdoors! Thank you for joining us! 


We have more fun just around the corner! Looking ahead, we have our Fall Book Fair, a long 4-day weekend, Leopard Friday, Red Ribbon Week, and Family Fun Night! October will be here before we know it.


Additionally, our librarian is in need of extra support this year. If you are able to volunteer your time, it would be greatly appreciated!  Please scroll down for more details and volunteer opportunities. 


Looking forward to cooler weather and all things Fall,

Dani Miller
