reader of the month
Each month, the library recognizes the student who has earned the most Accelerated Reader points. The student receives a certificate, recognition on the library bulletin board, and a Reader of the Month t-shirt. Congratulations to all of our readers!
Donations welcome (and needed)!
The Accelerated Reader rewards program is made possible through the generosity of the Gorman community. The first AR Store of the year was a success both in terms of reading and in following our campus Covid guidelines, and now our plan is to continue having one available at the beginning of each month. Prizes big and small are welcome. Here are some student suggestions:
- Movie-sized candy (everyone's favorite!)
- Cable buddies
- Crazy socks
- Fun pens
- Small gift cards ($5) from Chick Fil A, Andy's Frozen Custard, Whataburger
- Squishees
- Halloween Dollar Tree-type trinkets
All donors will receive a Tax-Acknowledgement, so make sure to put your name on your donations! A drop-box is located in the front office, or you can contact me via email to make other arrangements for pick up. We greatly appreciate your support!
Don't forget: Make your donations count toward volunteer hours by noting them in FACTS!
