Bagley Monday Message

Bagley Families,

This Wednesday, April 19th, we are celebrating April’s School Library Month with Dress like a Character Spirit Day. We are also welcoming our brand-new Mo Willems books* to the Bagley library with thanks to our PTA!
Dress up as your favorite character from any book or show us your best Piggie & Gerald costume for a Happy Pig Day! No masks or weapons. Please choose a costume that allows for easy movement at recess, etc.
