Book Fair Results!

Thanks to everyone for supporting our Little Shop of Stories book fair earlier this month. With our earnings, we were able to purchase all of these beauties - and more! Students were involved in helping me choose most of the titles. I feel fortunate we are able to provide such great and "new" books for our students!

Harry Potter Still Going Strong

Since the debut novel's release over 17 years ago, the Harry Potter series still draws die-hard fans. Our media center has several copies of all the volumes, which remain in constant rotation. Yesterday, an interesting moment: a couple of random students found themselves reading HP volumes in our reading area during recess. The conversations began, others joined in, and then "Accio!", an impromptu Harry Potter discussion group was formed. The group plans to meet during recess twice a week to discuss the books and films.
