Oops! I Did It Again!

I missed a month! It's been awhile since that happened, but so much has been going on in the media center, I'm not surprised that the Hungry Bookshelf hasn't has time to be updated.

One of the most important events for the month of November, was the

Fall Reading Marathon!

Students received the yellow form with their reports cards at the beginning of the month. The rules were quite simple: read for 4 of the 5 days during marathon week at your SMART Lunch location (minus the gyms and DLL). What to read? ANYTHING! Why only four of the days? Well, with the Acing the ACT program, clubs, tutorials, and a DECA program going on the week of November 14-18, I didn't want students to have to choose between the reading marathon and other events. This gave them the opportunity to participate in multiple things.

The overall feedback was great, and over 70 students turned in finished entry forms on the 18th. Ten winners were drawn and given their choice of gift cards for Sheetz, iTunes, or Starbucks. The winners were: 

Ninth Graders: Samuel Thorpe, Edgar Alvarez, Kenli Esau, and Keelan Penson.

Tenth Graders: Chloe Roberson, Logan Richard, and Daisy Miller,  

Eleventh Graders: Leandra Russell and Tiffany Tant.

Twelfth Grader: Hunter Williams.

We are looking forward to the Spring Reading Marathon in March.
