This week at Pioneer Ridge, middle school students visited the library for a fun and engaging Book Tasting! 📚✨
Students entered the “Book Café,” took a seat, and explored a book from their table’s menu. After sampling their selection, they jotted down their first thoughts and impressions, just like real book critics! They even enjoyed “fruit snack menu items” to complete the café experience. 🍎📖
Huge shout-out to Mrs. Berg for creating such a fantastic learning opportunity. Go Jaguars! 🐾💙 #WeAreUSD231
