SKDS Donates Reading Bags


We had a lovely surprise last week when a few St. Katherine Drexel students stopped by with reading bags they created. The bags not only contained books, but also had fun activities for children to do in conjunction with the books to further develop their connections to the text.

Pictured with me from left to right are teacher Ruth Kaiser and students Livi Clark, Sami Schmitt, Madison Jewell and Madeline McGauley. Thank you ladies for an awesome idea and a great donation!
