Farewell Mrs. Brandt

As we look forward to our Summer break, we will be saying good-bye to Mrs. Brandt. She has been a wonderful addition to Rayleigh as a Librarian Assistant for the past 2 years. She has also created many wonderful displays for our library, and she will be missed here at Rayleigh! Best wishes to Mrs. Brandt at her other school!

Journey Through Time

Library books are due!

Please remember to bring all library books back to the library before the end of the school year! It is a HUGE help to the library to have all our materials returned before the summer break. Thank you!

Library Fun!

6/5/2023

Students know Mrs. Sauer loves camping, so she brought camping fun into the library! When We Go Camping, written by Margriet Ruurs is a lovely story illustrated by BC painter Andrew Kiss (Mrs. Sauer went to highschool with his son!)
Students enjoyed finding hidden animals throughout the pages of this wonderful camping story, which made us all look forward to more camping days!

Thank you!
