It's the FINAL WEEK of our Beanstack Winter Reading Challenge! All of our students have done a super job of reading and logging, and we are so excited about the work they've done. The competition for the movie prize is coming down to the wire--2nd grade is in the lead by just 174 minutes! With five days to go, it's anyone's guess who will come out on top!

Our Winter Reading Challenge is going full steam ahead! As a building, we have reached and exceeded our goal of 100,000 minutes read since the beginning of the competition! Students are working hard to earn their individual prizes as well--scratch and sniff bookmarks at the halfway point, and a nifty Reading Machine button when the challenge is complete. Competition for the movie prize is intense--second grade holds a razor-thin lead over third grade, with each group at just over 37,000 minutes read. We've got two weeks to go, so keep up the awesome work, #WinterRead2025 #ReadingMachine

NEW Club at the Winterset Library:
Wednesday morning we had the pleasure of hosting Tasha Booth from The Den! She shared valuable insights on wellness, including the importance of nutrition, protein intake, and strength training. 💪
We also got to enjoy some delicious Tea Bombs and Protein Bites—fuel for both body and mind! 🫖🍪
Healthy teachers lead to healthier, happier classrooms, and that’s a win for our students, too. 💙 A big thank you to Tasha for helping us prioritize wellness and set the tone for a strong 2025!
