Congratulations to sixth grader, Danielle Sutliff.  She was the first student at our school to read and pass Reading Counts tests on all 15 Sunshines States titles.  Her feat has earned her admission to the end of the year Library party, available only to students who read and test on all 15 titles.

There are more students who are close to finishing and those will be added here soon.

Keep up the great reading and show everyone what JMS students can do!

The Fall Book Fair is underway in the Library Media Center and will be going strong until Friday morning at 8 AM. After this time, the fair will be packed up and sent back to Scholastic Warehouses. Classes have been attending daily since Tuesday, October 6th. Students in Mrs. Twitty’s classes as well as Mrs. Barnett’s and Ms. Kelly will be attending on Monday, October 13, 2009. The rest of the week will be open for walk-ins so if you have something on hold, please don’t forget to come back for it. Parents are also invited to attend either during school or immediately after school on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

Please support our library media center by purchasing from the book fair. Our school receives “Scholastic Dollars” which allows us to purchase books at reduced costs for giveaways and for the purpose of adding new books to our collection. There are many discounted books available at really great prices, so stop by today before it’s over.
