Watch/read this special message from Mrs. Yurek, SRES Librarian:
Ske:g Sialik, Salt River Elementary School!
Ani an ap ceig:ig, Mrs. Yurek. I want to welcome you back to a brand new school year. It's going to be a wonderful, wonderful year, because staff and teachers have been working for a long time to make sure it's the best year ever. We are all in!
I'm excited to have you back in the library, and I want to take this opportunity to tell you which books were your very favorite last school year.
Did you know that we have 10,000 books in this library? Each year I present 10 picture books, and we read them throughout the year. You check them out—you check out other books, too—and we vote on your favorites of the 10 that I present to you.
This video announces the top three favorites at SRES, as well as Arizona’s top-rated book:
I'll be presenting 10 new books to you this year, and there's lots of other books in our 10,000-book collection. So come in, check out a book, and please, give me a high-five in the hallway, or a little pinky-wave. I can't wait to see you, because I am all in, too, and I will make sure this is the best school year ever! Welcome back!
