Check out the calendar of events included in this newsletter for dates, times, and details about each program! Don't miss a summer of imagination and discovery at your local library!

Have a Safe Summer

As we wrap up another wonderful school year at South Side Schools, we want to thank all of our students, families, and staff for their hard work, support, and dedication. We’re proud of everything our students have accomplished and hope you all enjoy a well-deserved break full of fun, rest, and new adventures! This will be our final newsletter for the 2024–2025 school year. We look forward to seeing you back in August, ready for another great year! Stay safe, stay curious, and have a fantastic summer!
