Middle School Virtual Library
Dear Friends,
I hope my message finds you in good health.
It seems we’re not going to get together until the end of this school year…but we’re still connected and we can keep in touch.
I have created for you the Middle School Virtual Library..Here is the link :
https://sites.google.com/site/rfsmiddleschool/home
I’m so grateful to have shared the library with you this year..and I can’t wait to see your beautiful faces again! It’s difficult to know what the future holds but keep your spirits high and this too shall pass!
You are heroes..and I wish I could have read this to you…Please ask your parents to do it on my behalf:
My Hero is You, Storybook for Children on COVID-19 (English)
My Hero is You, Storybook for Children on COVID-19 (Arabic)
I hope you will stay safe..and healthy..and strong!
All my love!
Miss Carmen, Middle School Librarian
P.S. Until we’ll know how we can collect the books you borrowed from the library , please keep them safe,too!
