The beautiful, newly redesigned Paul W. Ott Elementary Library! What a great vision Librarian Charmaine Bride had for her students! This is what readers experience when they turn the corner in their delightful “L” shaped library.

Thank you Miss Lady Bird, mural!

Kathi Appelt wrote, “Now, whenever you travel through the countryside and see a field of wildflowers, be sure to learn their names- Lady Slippers, Black-eyed Susans, Larkspurs, Winecups, Blazing Stars, Granny’s Nightcaps. Thank you Miss Lady Bird!”
