Thank You on Behalf of Our Veterans

We are so proud of students in Ms. Gebert's leadership class and Mr. Mullany's art class. Together, they sent 50 thank you letters to our veterans. Xavier Quintero said it best: "Being a defender of our flag is a duty that comes with great responsibility, a responsibility you have taken in the name of freedom." These letters were part of the 100,000 Thank You project, sponsored by Ty Kelly and Chuck.com. If you would like to send your own thank you, there is still time. Deadline to send a thank you is NOVEMBER 26th. See the website for more details.

Brian Tjia loved this memoir. It is the harrowing story of survival of Jeanette Walls, brought up by grandparents who believed living without a bathroom builds character. Her parents suffered from mental disease and alcoholism. Life with her grandparents was supposed to be better, unfortunately her life did not get better.

Invisible Ghosts by Robyn Schneider

Robyn Schneider, author of Extraordinary Means and The Beginning of Everything, delivers a sharply funny, romantic girl-meets-boy novel with a twist: boy-also-meets-girl’s-ghost-brother. When one girl’s best friend is her dead brother’s ghost, romance can be tricky. Perfect for fans of John Green and Nicola Yoon.

Once and for All by Sarah Dessen

Louna, daughter of famed wedding planner Natalie Barrett, has seen every sort of wedding: on the beach, at historic mansions, in fancy hotels and clubs. Perhaps that's why she's cynical about happily-ever-after endings, especially since her own first love ended tragically. When Louna meets charming, happy-go-lucky serial dater Ambrose, she holds him at arm's length. But Ambrose isn't about to be discouraged, now that he's met the one girl he really wants.

Fly Girls by Keith O'Brien

Fly Girls recounts how a cadre of women banded together to break the original glass ceiling: the entrenched prejudice that conspired to keep them out of the sky. O’Brien weaves together the stories of five remarkable women. Fly Girls celebrates a little-known slice of history in which tenacious, trail-blazing women braved all obstacles to achieve greatness.
These are just a few of the new books that Irianny can't wait to read. If you would like your name and choices featured here, please see Mrs. Bayer in the library.
