ROUND 'EM UP Bicycle Rodeo

We had about 45 participants ranging from 4-12 (even had one tricycle), gave away 30 helmets, all participants received a certificate and a metal, along with a bag full of information and goodies, a hotdog, water, and chips. They had to wind through the cones, ride between blocks about 4 inches apart without touching them, ride a circle and stay inside the lines, and stop at a moments notice. They seemed to all have a really good time. We're already planning another one for next year...bigger and better!

BOOK OF THE MONTH

MAY

by Sherry Garland, Tatsuro Kiuchi (Illustrator)

About this title: A young Vietnamese-American girl tells the story of how her grandmother saw the Emperor of Vietnam on the day he was forced to give up his throne. Wanting to remember this momentous event, the grandmother took a seed from a lotus plant in the Imperial Garden. Later, forced to leave Vietnam, the grandmother took the seed with her and looked at it whenever she felt sad or when she wanted to mark an important event in her own life. Many years later, one of the grandmother's grandson's plants the seed. The grandmother is unhappy to have lost her seed until she sees what happens.
