The January Reading and Creative Challenge is to find and make a healthy recipe from a cookbook or to create a fitness goal based on a sport that you have read about. You can post a picture of what you cooked or record your fitness goal in the booklet and show it to Mrs. Dean during library time. Happy reading!
