Teen Tech early
The Community Library, Hailey Public Library and the school libraries at Wood River Middle School and Wood River High School celebrated Teen Tech Week February 23 – 27. Three events were held: Dance Dance Revolution for middle schoolers and their families during FAT (Families All Together) night, Cyber Solutions for Seniors at Hailey Public Library joined senior citizens with tech savvy high school students for individual tutoring on technology issues from email to digital cameras, and Xbox Xtravaganza at Wood River High School for middle and high schoolers to rock out (and chow down) together. Thanks to the YMCA for DDR equipment and the Silver Creek Alternative School staff and students for creating the Xbox buffet!
