It took 17 days, but we did it!

We started this 1000 piece puzzle on the first day of school.  It took 17 days, but in the end we completed it, and we couldn't be happier with the results.  Stop by the library next week and we'll be starting another puzzle and everyone's invited to participate.  

We did it!

Recently after visiting Brookside Intermediate and spending two fun filled days with Ms. Gillespie, I fell in love with the idea of having puzzles out for everyone to enjoy.
I started out small and bought only a 500 piece puzzle and I am proud to announce the puzzle was finished before the last day of school.  It was a blast and I have all ready bought 2 more puzzles that are a bit more challenging for the fall.
Not only did our students help but so did our teachers, staff members & even Mrs. Staley.

What can you do with duct tape?

It's Homecoming Week at Clear Brook. Today is 'Twin Day.' We have some creative students who made their shoes, dresses, belts and hairbands from duct tape. So cool! Need help with your next duct tape creation? Try Ductigami by Joe Wilson (745.5 WIL).

Edgar Allan Pillow

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door."

Next time you are nearly napping... make sure it's with your Edgar Allan Pillow!

You can find this great literary pillow over at Etsy.
