Kung Fu Panda Movie Night at Carleton Library!

Friday, February 27
7:00 PM
Carleton Branch Library

It’s Pandatime! The Carleton Library will be hosting a movie night! They will be showing Kung Fu Panda which is a story about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around...which doesn’t exactly come in handy while working every day in his family’s noodle shop. Be prepared for awesomeness.

Feel free to bring movie time snacks!

Sterling Elementary Star Wars Saturday

Last Saturday, February 21, Sterling Elementary hosted Star Wars Saturday. It was full of themed activities, fun food, contests, and character meet and greets.

This event was a fundraiser to get materials for the Guided Reading and Response-to-Intervention programs for the school. It was a great success!

The Activities included: Jedi Training Academy, Tatooine Temporary Tatoos, Mini Star Wars Theatre, Boba Fett's Book Walk and much more! The kids were able to meet all their favorite characters like Stormtroopers, Biker Scouts, Jawas, Clone Commander, Jedi, Boba Fett and the Sith Lord himself, Darth Vader!
