Little Free Library

We love it when our former students come back to our District to work on their Eagle Scout Award.  Graham presented his plan for this prestigious award at our last school board meeting.  The Board approved his proposal to construct a Little Free Library at Whiteside Middle School and Whiteside Elementary School.  These are exciting additions to our schools!
