Join us this week for the Festival of Cultures! We are celebrating the amazing diversity of cultures and heritage of our Cascade Ridge coyotes and their families. Click here to download a family heritage coloring sheet. Upload it to our Padlet to share with your classmates.

Join us at Cascade Ridge for a story walk from librarian Zana Moore. Explore the story "Planting Stories: The Life of Librarian and Storyteller Pura Belpré" by Anika Aldamuy Denise at the Cascade Ridge bus loop.

Planting Stories: The Life of Librarian and Storyteller Pura Belpré. What happens when you plant a seed? With a bit of care, something grows. The first children’s librarian from Puerto Rico, Pura Belpré (for whom an American Library Association literary award is named) planted seeds of stories throughout New York City where she worked, introducing children to tales from her homeland in Spanish and English.
