This week was the start of our Spring Programs, including the Word Wonders Vocabulary Club! Word Wonders take home their own Word Wonder Notebook to collect new words. For each new word you learn, we’ll put a piece of candy in your Word Jar behind the Youth Desk. Check out the Word Wall to see what your fellow Wonders are learning!

There’s still time to sign up. Give us a call today at 708-562-2301 or stop by the Youth Desk.

The Word of the Week is…

Commence. To begin, start.

Example sentence: The Word Wonder Vocabulary Club will commence this week!
