St. Mark's Episcopal School Gives Main Children's An A & A WOW!

St. Mark’s Episcopal Day School brought 40 first graders to the Main Library, May 1, 2018. LAS Danny Menendez presented a sea creatures storytime for the students. They posted the visit to their Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/StMarksEpiscopalDaySchool] and also sent the following message:  "Thank you, Joanna for helping us arrange such a fantastic trip! Please tell Danny we really enjoyed our theater visit with him. The sea stories he shared with us were perfect! We also really appreciate meeting Mrs. Owl.  
Sincerely, Christine Burkett, St. Mark’s Episcopal Day School."  

Mrs. Owl is an animatronic created by Jacksonville’s own Sally Industries. She resides on a tree in the Children’s Theater. Mrs. Owl tells a story and sings a song at the close of storytime. She has four different programs she can do. The kids heard the story Who Hoots? and sang along to “If You’re Happy and You Know It.”

Thanks to Joanna Nigrelli, Main's YS Librarian II, for the blurb and great pic.
