Happy Spring!

For our Accelerated Reader program this year, I am selecting “AR Stars of the Month.” These will be either the student in each grade earning the most points for the month or a student who has made significant improvement. They will be posted in the hallway outside the Library. March’s AR Stars are: Penelope - 2nd, Madden - 3rd, Emalyn - 4th, Evelyn - 5th, and Timothy - 6th. Way to read!

A reminder also of our 100 AR Points Field Trip that place on May 9th - students will have until the end of April or shortly after to make it to 100 points. The field trip will be to the YMCA and lunch in Minot. We currently have 6 students who’ve earned it!

The books and participation prizes from our Book Blast event were delivered right before spring break, and every student received at least two books! It was fun to do the countdown with each class and watch their excitement about the new books they got to keep! Thank you to all who participated!

Book Fair was held March 11th - March 28th. It is still available online at https://www.scholastic.com/bf/ups until April 11th. Thank you everyone who visited the Fair this year! Funds raised will go towards new books for the Library!

During March, our Elementary Library classes watched book trailers, made wishlists, and shopped the Book Fair. For April, grades PreK-1 will be celebrating the Book Battle winner “Elephant & Piggie” books, reading a couple spring/Easter-themed books with crafts, and enjoying a little outside storytime (hopefully). Grades 2-6 will be doing some webquest research and enjoying a little outside time, as well.

The Bookmobile will be here on Tuesday, April 8th. Please help remind students to return Bookmobile items if they haven’t already. Thank you!
