Cold Weather, Warm Welcomes & a Whole Lot of Books!

Friday afternoon, Sylvia and The Book Fairy rolled into Honey Grove Educational Center for a little pick-up-time book shopping!

It was cold. Not quite questioning all my life choices cold, but certainly cold enough to remind me that Sylvia was built in 1965, when apparently insulation was considered optional.

Thankfully, pick-up was hopping! Teachers, grandparents, parents, and kiddos stopped by to browse, shop, and stock up on some great reads. Meanwhile, the school was beginning to unpack its holiday decorations, because apparently November wastes absolutely no time becoming December.

And can we talk about this school for a second? GORGEOUS. An indoor gym, individual outdoor turf play areas, a basketball court, and even a separate little house and space for the babies. The babies have their own real estate. I’m 100% here for it.

But as beautiful as the campus was, the staff somehow managed to outshine it. Every single person I encountered was unbelievably kind, welcoming, and helpful. The kind of hospitality that makes standing outside in the cold considerably more enjoyable. A huge thank-you to Honey Grove Educational Center for inviting The Book Fairy to be part of your Friday afternoon! We loved meeting your families, exploring your beautiful school, and sending some great books home for the weekend.

And to everyone who shopped, thank you! We’ll happily come back. Preferably when Indiana decides to be a little less Indiana.
