Colony Elementary is the recent recipient of a Steele-Reese Foundation grant and Dollar General Youth Literacy Foundation grant.  The $23,000 in grant funds have purchased new library books and Lego Education products as part of the Colony Elementary library revitalization.  
 

During a recent S.T.E.A.M. workshop, students enjoyed many hands-on activity stations with their new Lego Education products.  Students explored different Lego activities, including constructing an ice cream cone from Legos and building a tower.   Students also enjoyed viewing and reading from the 1,578 newly purchased library books. 

If you missed Colony's Christmas Drive-thru, you can watch this video of it. 

Are you wondering how you can keep your kids reading during HCI?

Be sure to use Epic, a digital library you can access at this link: https://www.getepic.com/students
If your child doesn't know their class code for Epic, you can get that from their homeroom teacher.

You can also access tons of e-books and audiobooks for free by signing up for a digital library card with the Laurel County Public Library. To register:
