F.A. Cleveland Elementary School

Bridget Kidd earned Honorable Mention for her submission to the Morrill Memorial Library's Seventh Annual Essay Contest. This year's topic asked Grades 3-8 participants to consider: "If I Could Dive Into the World of Any Book" which title would it be. Bridget wrote about the world of Harry Potter. The Library held an Award Ceremony Monday night.

The Clifford Library had a very special guest reader come in to do a wonderful bilingual lesson with some second grade classes. Maureen Crook Vinson visited our library in honor of her sister, former teacher and librarian Paula Clifford. The students enjoyed hearing Senora Vinson's story, Manana Iguana, as well as singing songs that taught the color and number words in Spanish. We all enjoyed our visit with Senora Vinson!

Storyteller Diane Edgecomb entertained students with a variety of stories focusing on Nature. Her presentation, "Tale for the Earth" addressed such issues as recycling and conservation. Thank you to our PTA for bringing this show to the the Cleveland! This program was also supported in part by a grant from the Norwood Cultural Council.
