On March 16th, Pinon Elementary had the pleasure of hosting author and storyteller Joe Hayes!
Each grade level visited the library throughout the day for their own story session with Mr. Hayes. The rainy day made our library the perfect setting for a day of storytelling!
In the evening many students and families braved the weather for an evening of more storytelling. Families were served pizza and cookies before listening to more stories from Mr. Hayes!
Thank you Mr. Hayes for coming!
