The Middle School Summer Reading Program “You are Here to Learn” has been so much fun this year. The kids had a fantastic time making homemade egg noodles.  They were hmm-hmm  good.   There was also a cake decorating day!  They learned the tools & techniques needed to make frosting and decorate cakes.  The last day of the program is July 27th at 10:00 am.  The kids will be learning a little “No Bake Baking.”   All kids grades 4 & up are welcome.
