The first day of spring is tomorrow, and it even looks like it!

On Tuesday volunteers from the Waterville Area Food Pantry stopped by the library to pack Food Bags for the Community Drive-Thru. Food Bags are available for every child, and are partially in thanks to a grant from the American Red Cross.

While we catch up with our own prep, enjoy these photos from the Waterville Central School District and Jody Hildreth!

First up, thanks to Officer Poyer for his time working with the WCSD and at MPS

From the Positivity Project:

Mrs. Gates's class shows their Love of Learning! They are having fun learning about the Iditarod Race in Alaska! They got to watch and cheer on the winner as he came through the finish line! They decided the musher and his team of sled dogs must have had a lot of PERSEVERANCE!

From the Positivity Project:

Some of the sixth grade students have enjoyed getting to know Brewer, the certified therapy dog at the High School. Spending time with him has made the transition much less stressful. His unconditional love is a gift.

A perfectly cheerful way to start the weekend, Jody Hildreth has been creating an Acorn Man series, and the images are filled with whimsical amusement. To say Jody's photography never disappoints is an understatement.
