We've had an incredibly busy autumn so far in our active library learning commons!
We have had over 50 students volunteer to become library monitors this year!! The grade 6 and 7 library monitors have begun their work supervising the library during Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday lunch breaks. It took about a month for that number of library monitors to be trained in all aspects of this work, but we are happily operational at this point. I'm so impressed that there are so many helpful student who are willing to give up their time and energy to our library! We had an incredibly successful Book Fair in October! Thank you to everyone who came and for all the purchases which benefit our whole school in the form of Scholastic credits, free books and a cash return so we can purchase from booksellers other than Scholastic. We took in over $7000 in gross sales!! That is the largest total I've ever seen. Another bit of excitement coming up for the grade 6 and 7’s is the anticipated start of the Red Cedar Book Awards Club. I have just received all of this year’s nominees and look forward to presenting this opportunity to our students to become critical readers as soon as the books are ready to circulate. Students will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite and participate in a provincial reader’s choice award for two Canadian authors in May!
