LMC Fundraiser
Everyone is invited to the LMC during Reading Night on Thursday, January 26. We will have all of our new books on display as part of our “sponsor a book” fundraiser for the library. We use the results of the fundraiser to purchase new books for the OMS library. If you find a book you’d like to sponsor, please bring it to the checkout desk and make a $10 donation with cash or check. The library staff will place a personalized bookplate inside the book indicating the sponsor name. Your child will be the first one to check it out on the following school day. Also, for every family who sponsors a book, each child in the family is invited to enter a raffle to win a copy of a book autographed by the author. We have three books to give away!
One Book One School Event Starts Today, January 20!
The whole school community (families and staff of OMS) will begin reading Rescue At Lake Wild starting today. Thanks to the generous support of the OMS PTA, a paperback copy of the book was purchased for each family and sent home today with the youngest child in the family. Enclosed within the book is a paper that includes the reading schedule and a letter explaining how the program will work. Please try not to read beyond the pages designated for Week 1. We plan to discuss and celebrate this book at OMS over the next month.
Mrs. Brown, the LMC Director, introduced students to the One Book One School program at an all-school assembly at the end of the day today. If you would like more information about the One Book One School program, please visit the LMC website. On the One Book One School tab, you will find links to discussion questions, the reading schedule, crafts, games, and more. OMS staff members have recorded their voices reading each chapter of Rescue At Lake Wild. So, if you find that you don’t have time to read some of the chapters as a family, please help your child visit the LMC website in order to listen to the chapters being read aloud. If you have any additional questions about the program, please contact Mrs. Brown at nabrown@sd25.org.
