We Broke Out!
The library was buzzing with excitement this week as second graders took on their very first BreakoutEDU challenge! Much like an escape room, BreakoutEDU turns learning into an adventure—where teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving are the keys to success.
Working in small groups, students raced against the clock to solve five tricky puzzles that revealed combinations to locks. They had just 45 minutes to crack a 3-digit lock, a 4-digit lock, a word lock, a directional lock, and even find a hidden key!
Laughter, curiosity, and a few happy shouts of “We got it!” filled the room as students collaborated to “break out.” It was a fun, brain-stretching experience—and they can’t wait for the next challenge!

Kindergarten STEM Fun: Monster Engineering Challenge
In the elementary library, we love to read—and tinker with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities inspired by our stories. This month’s Monster Challenge was the perfect way to introduce engineering to our students after reading I Need My Monster by Amanda Noll.
The challenge had just two rules:
1. The monster had to have three legs.
2. It had to stand at least five cubes high.
The rest of the design was entirely up to our creative young engineers! It was wonderful to see so many unique, wobbly, and imaginative monsters come to life.
A big thank-you to Mrs. Hoggarth’s Food and Independent Living students for making the play dough we used for building—your help made this activity a success!
