November 21, 2025 - JFK Elementary is celebrating the success of its Library Legends initiative, a creative effort launched by school librarian Ms. Rita “Book” Saenz to inspire students to read more and engage with their library. This week’s spotlight shines on Isaac Garcia, a second grader from Ms. Gomez’s class, who earned recognition for his active participation.

The initiative is simple yet powerful: Check Out. Return. Win! Every time students check out or return a book, they earn an entry into the weekly raffle for a chance to win a sweet prize—like a free ice cream treat. This fun approach encourages consistent reading habits while making the library a hub of excitement and learning.

How to Join the Fun:

  • Visit the JFK Library

  • Check out or return a book

  • Enter for a chance to win

Thanks to Ms. Saenz’s vision, the Library Legends initiative is turning reading into an adventure and motivating students to become lifelong learners. Don’t miss out—stop by the library today and start earning your chance to win!
