Library News:
Click HERE to see an Adobe Spark post of our 2019 READ Project author visit! A BIG thank you to the amazing McKelvie Intermediate School Custodial Staff, the Bedford PTG, the READ Project Committee, Susan Cavanaugh, and the administration. A BIG thank you also to all of the McKelvie Staff who supported this literary experience!
This week we honored National Library Week 2019 by voting for our favorite Great Stone Face Nominee. Students statewide in grades 4-6 had the opportunity to vote. McKelvie students cast their votes via a Google Form for their favorite Great Stone Face Nominee. The McKelvie winner will be announced during the week of April 15th. The statewide winner will be announced in May. Stay tuned!
The McKelvie Library appreciates all of the generous Scholastic Book Fair donations from McKelvie families! All of the donations will be catalogued and available for circulation soon.
April break is approaching quickly! The library is looking for photos of where books go over break. I would love to have photographs of books with their readers to display in the library windows with the caption "Oh, The Places Our Books Go!" This can be as simple as snapping a photograph of a McKelvie reader and book in a comfy spot at home to a McKelvie reader and book on a beach in the tropics. Please email the picture with your child's name and the location to cotej@sau25.net. I will print and display all of the pictures I receive! Thank you in advance for participating! I can't wait to see where books travel over break.
Enjoy the warm weather this weekend! ~Mrs. Cote

Shoe Drive-Bedford DI are having a special shoe drive through Ecosmith Recyclers. From now until May 19th, you can donate all your old paired shoes, boots, flip flops, sneakers, heels and slippers in the marked boxes in your school lobby. These items will then be placed in a special blue bag before being deposited in the Ecosmith bin in the school parking lots. This is a great way to get your spring cleaning under way, while helping raise funds for the teams heading to Global Finals in Kansas City, MO. We would also like to remind you that, clothing, fabrics, stuffed animals etc. can always be donated year round in the Ecosmith bin. We appreciate your support.
