Email me if you have a specific request or are looking for a particular grade level or curriculum.  I’m happy to look to see if we have what you need.  Also, please come in and take some of these awesome books that would be such great unit studies for elementary and middle school students.

Christmas Craft Make & Take

We have a new take on the Christmas Craft Make & Take this year!  To minimize risks of COVID exposure we will be collecting videos of you, our families, making a fun Christmas craft to share with all.  Please video your family making a Christmas craft, pause the video periodically as you complete tasks to keep the video to 5-10 minutes in length.  Then send the video to Candy Smith at csmith@covlife.org along with a still picture of the craft and a craft name.  We will compile the videos and send them out to all.  We hope to see many of your faces through this virtual craft fair.  Please consider how you can participate with us.
