Ezri’s Community Service Project
Ms. Loula: Go for it.
Ezri: Uh, I volunteered at the library helping out with, um, doing things such as cricketing, cicadas, uh, cicada sun catchers. Um, and, uh, dressing up in inflatable costumes. Uh, I was T-Rex. I was a shark. I’m going to be a unicorn. I was also an avocado, but that one did not inflate. Um, we should check these beforehand, but I chose the library because I’ve been going there since I was little. Uh, I’ve done story times there. I’ve, um, done scavenger hunts. I’ve done so many fun programs and met friends. Um, and so I decided that I was going to help out there.
Ezri: Uh, I also helped decorate the library for summer reading. Um, the decorations in the library were always one of my favorite parts of the summer reading, other than, well, the reading. Um, and so being able to be a part of that, uh, was really special.
Ms. Loula: Perfect. Yay.
