“A book is a dream that you hold in your hands.” Thank You to the Ramapo Valley Rotary for giving the Tuxedo Union Free School District the opportunity to dream again and again. On Monday, representatives from the Ramapo Valley and Rotary Club of Suffern joined George F. Baker High School teachers and Interact Club advisors Tom Really and Courtney Ehlmendorf to unveil and dedicate the campus’ new “Little Free Library.”
The library, located on the walk way to the George Grant Mason school, expands book access for the community and provides students, faculty and staff with the opportunity to inspire one another through reading.
Riley and the Rotary clubs chose Monday to unveil the library, because it was on June 12 that Anne Frank turned 13 and received the diary that would turn into one of the world’s most read accounts of the Second World War.
Joining Riley, Ehlmendorf and members of the Rotary were Superintendent Jeff White, BOE member Dan Castricone, Library Media Specialist Valerie Mui, second grade teacher Rene Blume and art teacher Mark Stankiewicz, who painted the library with several of our students.
