Today the Smith Library hosted our Annual Holiday Story event!
Holiday Story is an annual tradition where 6th grade English classes come into the library the last school day before Winter break to enjoy classic holiday stories read aloud by teachers.
Teachers from across all 3 grade levels and varying subject areas as well as Building Administrators volunteered to read a wide variety of holiday and winter tales including celebrations of Hanukkah, Kwanza, Christmas, and Winter stories.
It was a great way to end 2024 and ease into a well-deserved Winter Break! Special thanks to all of our volunteer readers💙❄️📖
Friendly RAMinder, early dismissal on Friday.
This week in 7th grade book club, students spread some holiday cheer by writing letters to Senior Citizens in need!
What’s Happening: This year’s student book clubs are centered around the theme of “Stories That Inspire” asking students to consider how books inspire people to think outside the box, feel empathy for others, and create new things. After reading the memoir I Will Always Write Back, 7th grade students considered how one letter can change a person’s life or brighten their day. The 7th grade book club discovered a letter writing campaign, Love For Our Elders, which seeks to connect to isolated Senior Citizens around the world during the holiday season. Students spent their meeting writing and decorating their letters with color and art, poetry, word searches, and filled their messages with encouraging words to wish these senior citizens well into the New Year!
What’s Next: All letters will be mailed out by Friday, December 20th! 6th grade and 8th grade book clubs will likewise be completing their own community service-based projects in the coming months inspired by their own grade-level book club book.
