Kindergarten Bus Trip

Join your Kindergartener on their first bus ride! 

The Mengle Memorial Library in Brockway will be hosting the annual Kindergarten Bus Trip on Thursday, August 22nd for Kindergarten students at the Brockway Area Elementary School.  The bus will be leaving the library at 10:00 am.  Please come a few minutes early so you do not miss your ride.

The bus will depart from the library and go to the school.  This event is held on the same day as the School Tour for incoming Kindergarteners and their parents.  The bus will return everyone back to the library after the School Tour is over.
