Back to School

Hi Students,

This Monday from 4:30 to 6pm I will be passing out FREE BOOKS to all.  Come see your new class list and get a book to read.  I thinks HSC will even have cookies.  Yum Yum.

Fill out your summer reading log now and return it  the first 2 weeks of school.  We have lots of great prizes.

Keep on Reading......

New Books

Hi Students,

I was on vacation last week.  Now I found some new books that will be out this school year.  I hope everyone is reading for the summer book log.  We have a few weeks left so keep on reading.  Look what is coming soon to the Library.

New Book

Hi Students,

I found a new book for you to look at Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library.  It sounds good like a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with a bit of the Night in the Museum.  I will try to get it for the school Library this fall.

I hope everyone is reading this summer and filling out your summer reading sheets.

Wish me luck I am waking the Wharf to Wharf Race this Sunday.

Where's Waldo in Santa Cruz?????

FIND WALDO IN SANTA CRUZ!

Where's Waldo? In Santa Cruz, of course.

Beginning Monday, July 1st (and during the entire month of July), the famous children’s book character in the striped shirt and black-rimmed specs is visiting 25 local businesses throughout our community. Sponsored by Bookshop Santa Cruz and the Downtown Business Association, Waldo figures will be well-hidden in local business establishments including Bookshop Santa Cruz, Atlantis Fantasyworld, Comicopolis, Game a Lot, Sockshop and Shoe Co., Woodstocks, Dell Williams, Marini’s, Pacific Cookie Company, Palace Art & Office, Zoccoli’s, Artisan’s, A Brighter World, Kianti’s, Level Up,Luma, Mythic Games, Old School Shoes, Paper Vision, Saturn,Spokesman, Petroglyph, Downtown Info Kiosk, Union Grove, and the Downtown Public Library. Find Waldo is a great summer vacation activity, and a wonderful way for residents to support local business and the Shop Local movement.

Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Santa Cruz!” Passport at Bookshop Santa Cruz, the Downtown Information Kiosk or any participating business. The passport names all the participating sites, and challenges children to get their passport stamped or signed for each Waldo they spot. The first 100 Waldo seekers to get their passports stamped or signed at ten or more sites can bring their passports back to Bookshop Santa Cruz to collect prizes. Collecting store stamps or signatures at twenty or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers to enter a grand prize drawing on July 28th, with the top prize being a 6-volume deluxe set of Waldo books as well as other prizes from participating merchants.

A celebration for completing the hunt will be held on July 28th at 2:00pm at Bookshop Santa Cruz, with a Waldo party including a Waldo costume contest for kids, games and activities, a proclamation from Santa Cruz Mayor Hilary Bryant, a raffle for prizes, and even a visit from Waldo himself!

Look at this Kids.  Fun Fun.

Rainny Days

Hi Green Acres Students,

I know the weather is wet and foggy.  This is the perfect day to make a reading tent in your house.  First ask Mom or Dad if you can have an large bed sheet and some chairs.  You can make a tent indoors with the sheet and chairs.  My kids use to bring all there stuff animals and pillows and set up a nice cozy area to read.  The weather today make some hot chocolate too.  Don't forget to fill in your books on your reading log sheet.

Happy reading
