Monday, November 28th, 2022: “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go,” Dr. Seuss. 

Utica Academy of Science fifth graders went on a field trip to the Utica Public Library. Scholars were able to open library cards and check out books. The Children's Area has several series we love, including Goosebumps, The Baby-Sitters Club, and Star Wars. We took a tour of the building, learning its history along the way. The trip included a winter-themed craft and snack! Our atoms are excited to keep using their library cards!
