 Robinson Families,
A number of years ago, we requested game donations. Our students love what you donated - especially the card games - and we are hoping to add to our offerings.
Do you have any gently used card games around your home that you are willing to donate to the library? If so, please send the games to school with your student at any point during the month of November. Thank you for the support!
Best,
