Kids in kindergarten and up are invited to decorate a heart-shaped jigsaw puzzle! We'll be using markers, paint sticks, crayons, and colored pencils to create unique puzzles. Perfect to keep for yourself or give to someone special!
Kids in grades K-8 are invited to take the Winter Reading Challenge! The challenge runs from Sunday, January 12th through Friday, February 28th.

Join the staff of NJ4S and create your personal vision board for 2025. A vision board is a poster or collage where you can visually represent your dreams and goals.

All supplies will be provided, but you can bring photos or other special collage materials that you'd like to incorporate in your project. Light refreshments will be served.
