Happy Reading!
Also one of the copies of How to Survive Middle School is missing. If you or your student finds it, please return it to the office. It will have a label on the back cover like the photo below.
Just a reminder that any student signed up for chess has the option to go to recess on any given Wednesday if there is something (weather, friend activity, etc.) they don't want to miss out on.
In the same thread, if a student is attending but not playing chess, they will be redirected to recess. We know the library can be enticing, but as the librarians are not present during this time we need to keep our activity to chess.
From the total bright eyed beginners who came to learn, to the chess aficionados who play passionate strategy beyond the adults, we are so happy to see such large group of kids having indoor fun on these cold winter months!
