A New School Year and a New Baby!

Prospect teachers and staff are busy getting ready to start the 2017 school year! We are excited to see the students come in and visit the library! Things will be just a bit different at the beginning of the year because Mrs. Swanson is taking a maternity leave to stay home with her baby until November.  The newest member of the Swanson family is Tessa Elizabeth! She was born on July 23, right on time, the day before her due date. The Swansons are all doing well and are thrilled with their new baby.

While Mrs. Swanson is at home, the Prospect Library will be in great hands with Mrs. Reinhardt, the library assistant, and Teacher-Librarian Mrs. Miks! Mrs. Miks was the MRC Director at Monroe School for many years before she retired in 2015. We know Prospect students will enjoy learning with her and will make her feel welcome.

Family Reading Night

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Family Reading Night before Thanksgiving! Families had a blast learning the Samba, and exploring different languages, cultures, and continents.

At one station, families made up their own "porquoi" story. These are common in African and Native American legends to tell why or how something is the way it is.

Listen to the porquoi stories Prospect families recorded here on our Sound Cloud page.
