Ms. Hunger, the teacher-librarian at École Sperling Elementary School, is retiring on December 21st after many years of teaching in the school district. She has enjoyed teaching and she would especially like to thank all of the many parents and students who have volunteered in the library over the years. Ms. Hunger will miss the entire Sperling school community!

If you read at least two of these books you can vote for your favourite one in April 2024.

Author and illustrator Jeff Chiba Stearns came to École Sperling Elementary on Friday, May 20th. He presented his books Mixed Critters, Nori and his delicious dreams, and On being Yukiko to classes and he demonstrated how to draw people and animals. Students enjoyed learning to draw using his techniques! Jeff is a truly talented author and illustrator. You will find his books in our school library later this week.
