Happy New Year!
Make a Resolution! 

Take the Nonfiction Challenge! 
As you work your on your AR Goals, read and quiz on nonfiction. To make it easy, start right away, and alternate Fiction and Nonfiction. Keep watching the sliding scale in Home Connect. It's on the bottom of the  first page and tells the percentage for your own work. Keep going until you make your point goal!  
Remember to hold your score up at 90% or higher.
YOU CAN DO IT!

We thank and commend our great PTA who gives strong support to our library!  They enable us to do so many things!


1.) They renewed AR when the school system dropped it in the other schools. 


2.)  They purchased a subscription to Worldbookonline.com for our school community.
This allows our students and teachers to access authoritative information whether at home or at school.


3.) They came in and helped with our awesome book fair!

                                AND

4.) They gave a very generous allowance for books and other upgrades to our library.

Thank you so much, Everyone!  Now let's take care of these great assets and put them to good use!
