The Amazing Book Journey
October 1st our District-wide Reading Contest kicks off. We are competing against the other district high schools to have the most minutes read. Last year Shoemaker came in 1st place. We would very much like to maintain that title. Anybody can participate. All you have to do is read something you enjoy and record your minutes in the Beanstack app on Clever. Just about anything counts: books, e-books, audiobooks, textbooks, magazines, newspapers. All Reading is Good Reading in this competition. YOUR GOAL IS TO READ 4,000 MINUTES BY JANUARY 16. For every 300 minutes you read, you'll receive a PRIZE. PRIZES are handed out in the library on Thursdays at lunch and after school.
Design you Book Challenge T-Shirt
Create a t-shirt design for our theme, The Amazing Book Journey. Campus winners will compete against the five winners from the other high schools. The district winner will see their design on over 100 individuals in our district competition. That competition also kicks off on October 1. Designs are due to the library by November 21.
· Designs should fill an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper.
· Digital designs should be saved as a PDF.
· Designs should use no more than 3 colors - 4 if the color of the t-shirt is part of your design.
If you have questions about ANYTHING, drop by the library or send us an e-mail.

What is Empathy?
Empathy is the ability to be aware of, understand, and be sensitive to another person’s feelings. Instead of focusing on how these feelings impact ourselves, empathy motivates us to focus on others and respond with care and compassion.
Why Focus on Empathy?
- Empathy builds a positive classroom culture. Empathy empowers students to learn to understand each other to build trust and safety in the classroom.
- Empathy strengthens community. Empathy helps students strengthen their relationships with classmates, other students and adults at school, and at home.
- Empathy prepares your students to be leaders in their community. The best leaders understand the people they lead and are able to show they care.
Empathy in Action:
- Take a different perspective. When you take a different perspective, you put aside your own feelings and reactions to see the situation through another’s eyes.
- Put aside judgment. Take a pause, and rather than express conclusions about a situation based on what you see, step back and consider other things you may still need to know or understand.
- Communicate that you understand. Instead of giving advice, respond with reflective phrases like, “It sounds like you...” or “I hear that you...” to express that you understand and care.
