No, we are not quite climbing the walls yet…

Though it may appear so!  Thanks to Mrs. Keeney and After-the-Bell-Art, we’ve had a chance to display some of the completed projects in the Gilson Jr. High Library display case.

Relaxing At The Library

There’s nothing better than a little time to dive into a good read.

Budding Author

This tenacious 2nd grade author has been working on her book over the past few months.  Today she presented the finished project to our library.

Mrs. Benda is busily cataloging the book.  The Little Turtle Who Couldn’t Wait For Halloween  will be on display and ready for check out soon.  Once it’s time to return to the shelves you’ll find it in the Everybody Section.

Thanks Miss C. for sharing your hot-off-the-press book with our school!

Just How Many Books Are In This Display Case?

Wrapping Up This Year’s Battle Book Program

Our annual Battle Book Slumber Party wrapped up last night. 21 kids were able to attend this year’s event. The students had to read all 15 of the books and receive 80% or higher on their AR quizzes.

We started out the evening swimming, followed by a school wide Easter Egg Hunt. Bookmark crafts, time in the gym, the computer lab, and lots of great snacks pretty much took care of the evening. We wrapped things up with three rounds of Sardines, a hide and seek game that covered  the whole school.

Great Snacks!

Those are Easter Eggs Hidden In That T-Shirt!

Thanks to all the amazing help from parents and volunteers.  You helped make this celebration one of the best!
