The Ola Library wrapped up its much anticipated, annual, summer reading program. The week long program included classroom activities as well as field trips to Veteran’s Memorial Park and the Boise Aquarium. This year’s Oceans of Possibilities theme afforded lots of stimulating, educational and fun experiences! The Ola parents and students are incredibly grateful to Librarian, Robin Close, for putting together yet another successful summer program!

Typing is no longer just a great skill to have. Now it is an ESSENTIAL skill to have. Being able to touch type is a necessary skill in most industries as well as in every day life. Additionally, being able to touch type vs. using the hunt and peck method increases speed, accuracy and efficiency, among other things. Think about it, not only are you using 10 fingers rather than just two but you are also able to look at the screen when you type therefore catching errors on the spot! Check out the links below to learn more about benefits of touch-typing vs. the hunt and peck method. Then click the large link at the bottom of the post to sign up for a free online typing program.
