Plainfield Fest is right around the corner!

This year’s celebration will include a special opportunity for children and individuals with special needs to enjoy the carnival before the crowds arrive.

On Friday, July 17, from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m., the carnival will offer a sensory-friendly hour with slower ride speeds, no flashing lights and quieter surroundings to help create a more comfortable experience for everyone.

Admission to Plainfield Fest during this special hour is free for participating individuals with special needs and their parents/guardians (ride tickets are required).

This year’s Plainfield Fest runs July 17-19.

Our elementary school Extended School Year students put their problem-solving skills to work this week in the library! Students searched for hashtag block challenge cards throughout the library, completed the building challenge, and shared with classmates by posting videos on a collaborative Padlet. It was a fun way to combine movement, problem-solving, and technology while learning together!
