Thank you to the Murphy Farm families who were able to attend our literacy-focused parent club event. We read our favorite books, completed a character scavenger hunt, and made props to sing our favorite reading song "These are my glasses." Each family went home with a gift bag from the Saint Charles Public Library and a new book.

Families from Saginaw ISD’s Brucker Preschool Parent Club recently had the opportunity to learn more about the ICAN Literacy Project from Ms. Tracey. She provided books for children to take home and enjoy with their families.
The group also spent time planting flowers that the children were able to take home. Flowers, soil, and pots were generously donated by Abele Greenhouse and Garden Center.
