10th Story Hour 6/8/25 Father's Day Fun
Next Sunday is Father's Day, and we had fun reading stories about ways we love (and are loved by) the daddies (and grandpas, uncles, family friends) in our lives. The ties we made to give them next week turned out great. Who knew stickers would be such a hit?
And for those kids who came, after the lucky tie recipient wears it on Sunday, take off the string and laminate it for a bookmark!
