📚✨ Another great read from the Sunshine State list! ✨📚
I just finished J vs. K and absolutely loved it! It’s funny, witty, and just so cool. 😄
What makes this book extra special is that it’s written by two amazing authors who actually poke fun at each other in real life—and that playful rivalry shows up in the story! Their characters are good storytellers, one with words and the other with pictures. And they are going head to head to will a contest. They are trying to out-do each other so some pranks and bad advice involved which makes things pretty funny! 🎨✍️
Authors Alexander and Craft are both incredible storytellers in their own way, and it’s so fun to see that dynamic come alive on the page. The rivalry, the humor, the creativity—it all comes together to make this such an entertaining read!
I’m adding links to their websites so you can learn more about them and explore their other books. And guess what—we have a lot of their titles at the HSE Library! 📖💙
I highly recommend this one if you’re looking for something fun and unique! The ever important charm? You can choose...do you like J or maybe K is better?

As excitement builds around the FIFA World Cup, our campers had a blast learning about the world’s most popular sport while watching World Cup action and exploring lessons connected to the game. ⚽📚
To show their team spirit, students proudly wore their favorite soccer jerseys to camp, filling our campus with color, energy, and lots of smiles! ❤️💙💛💚
Thankful for our HSE Extended Day leaders for creating opportunities for our Eagles to learn, connect, and have fun through real-world experiences throughout the summer. What an exciting week of teamwork, sportsmanship, and global learning! 🌍🦅⚽
