Students:  Do you like to build with Legos?  Do you like to get creative with friends?  Then you may want to sign up for the library’s monthly Lego Club meeting.  We build creatively or with kits during Lego Club and our first meeting is Wednesday, September 7th from 2:45-3:45 in the library.  You must sign up in the library before the 7th in order to come because space and building materials are limited.  And this is a club that can have new members every month!  So if you can’t make it in September, we will have another club in October that you can sign up for.  So stop down to the library and sign up to build with us before Sept. 7th.  If you have any questions, please see Mrs. McCaulley in the library.  We’re looking forward to building with you!
