We are so proud of the many students who participated in the summer reading challenge at FCPL! Did you know that NMES also has the Beanstack program for logging reading and participating in reading challenges? Beanstack has been called the "Fitbit of reading" and is a great way to encourage your readers! You can access the website and instructions on the media center website at https://edu.fcps.org/nmes/media. A flier with more information is coming home with all students.

Students at NMES have access to ebooks on any digital device with our SORA ebook system! Students can log into the SORA app on a device or use the media website to access SORA. After logging in with their FCPS username and password, they have access to virtually checkout ebooks and audiobooks. If you need any assistance, please contact Mrs. Siderius, our media specialist, at jennifer.siderius@fcps.org.

Our NMES wolves love to learn, so here's an optional holiday choice board to keep them exploring all month long! In September, they can learn about koalas, Misty Copeland, Labor Day and more! All links will take you directly to articles in PebbleGo. If you need assistance, please reach out to our media specialist, Mrs. Siderius, at jennifer.siderius@fcps.org.
