The Minnewaska Area Elementary School Library is happy to announce that they have received a grant from the Gladys Ness Brang Foundation to purchase new books. “Our library is very important to the learning process as it stimulates interest and widens the horizon of each student. We are so happy to be able to purchase relevant books for teachers to utilize and books that are attractive to our students. Thank you, Gladys Ness Brang Foundation!” said Jean Barkeim, second-grade teacher at MAES.
