Students had a wonderful time visiting the library during the CFE Open House. One of the highlights was the special “Shelfie Station”, a photo spot where students and their families could take pictures next to their favorite shelf or book.

With fun signs and pictures of beloved book characters, the station was full of smiles, laughter, and lots of literary excitement! We loved that so many families stopped by to share in the joy of reading and celebrate our library together.

We can’t wait for more fun adventures with books this year!

Last week, the CFE library was filled with smiles and stories as Fourth Grade Reading Buddies visited Pre-K! The older students took time to read picture books to our youngest learners, helping spark a love of reading and building new friendships along the way. It was a heartwarming moment of mentorship and literacy in action, we’re so proud of our thoughtful and caring fourth grade students!
