Books, books, books! Ms. Ussery and Mrs. Glaude’s classes were gifted the most amazing gift of books from the sweet Dr. Calvert. Each student had the opportunity to choose three books to become their own; to be read, loved, and to bring joy. We are so thankful for the kindness shown to us! ❤️ #bbelem
