May is full of interest and surprises, and it starts off with a bang! So you don't miss any of the excitement, here's a run-down of the goodness.
May 4th is School Lunch Hero Day, launched ("lunched"?) by the School Nutrition Association in partnership with Jarrett J. Krosoczka. You can see his TED talk about why this is important to him here. You should know he's the author of the popular Lunch Lady graphic novel series. May the fourth is also Star Wars Day (May the Fourth Be With You, Always). Keep an eye out for posters of favorite characters with a special message around campus. May 4th is ALSO Kepler's game day at the Grizzlies, as part of a reading celebration. Be sure to bring your bookmark to the game for an extra prize (yes, beyond the two tickets that your voucher is good for --in past years, the Grizzlies have given away books!). Bring your cameras - Star Wars characters will be dressed up and ready to say hello at the game! Saturday is Cinco de Mayo, celebrating the Mexican army's victory against overwhelming odds at the Battle of Puebla. Find a great book about Mexico in our library! Saturday is also FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! There are three stores listed in Fresno and Clovis as participating, but there may be more. Make sure to call ahead. There's nothing like finding out the information on the website was wrong...after you get to the "We've Moved!" sign. All of May is Maker Month at Kepler. Don't know what the Maker Movement is? Check out Maker Faire information or Wikipedia's longer explanation. For inspiration, check out DIY and how-to books or biographies of makers under the "Creativi-Tree" side of our special display. Our other month-long celebration is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. For books about and by people of Asian and Pacific Island heritage, look under the "Family Tree" side of our special display. So much to do in May, and then there's only one week left of school! Let's enjoy these last few weeks!
