We are excited to be partnering with WETA and hosting our last Meet Me at the Library event for the 23-24 school year! This event is a great opportunity for families to listen to stories, play some games, and participate in activities to promote literacy, math skills, and problem solving skills. On Thursday, May 23rd, families are invited to the Kings Park Public Library (9000 Burke Lake Rd, Burke, VA 22015) at 5:00 PM for an hour-long session focusing on Building Resiliency with some amazing Kings Park teachers and staff.
This workshop provides tools for teaching young children how to embrace mistakes and bounce back when things don’t go as planned. This is a free event for Kings Park students. Every student that attends will receive a free book from WETA. We hope to see you in the Community Meeting Room at the Kings Park Public Library on Thursday, May 23rd at 5:00!
