WOW! In the two days since I challenged BlackshearFineArts Yellowjackets to an End-of-Year Reading Challenge, they’ve checked out 45 books on MackinVIA! 😳 I knew I should have made that goal higher! 🤣 Guess who’s probably shaving his head May 28? Hint: #guybrarian

Well, they did it! BlackshearFineArts Students crushed the ebooks challenge I set for them, and checked out 155 ebooks on MackinVIA ! So I’ll be shaving my head this Thur., May 28 at 6:30 p.m. live on the Blackshear Elementary Fine Arts Academy PTA Facebook page! See ya there! 😃

Congratulations to all of our graduating 5th graders, BlackshearFineArts, from your PTA! Have a great summer! 😃🌞
