Loved reading to this sweet group of SJS campers!

Summer Knights is off to a fabulous start.😎🌞 Campers of all ages had big adventures this week...

📚4K paid a visit to the Middle Georgia Regional Library, which has a rich history. Its awesome Children's Room has been around since 1927!

📖Kindergarten enjoyed Story Time at Bear’s Books, downtown Macon's beloved independent bookstore and literary haven.

⛰Grades 2-5 entered history at the Ocmulgee Mounds The Georgia Conservancy, a prehistoric site occupied by various indigenous groups across thousands of years. These mound formations date back to around 900 AD!
