It's FCAT time!

It's FCAT time again...

Once more, the State of Florida will be consumed by standardized testing. FCATs will take place over the next two weeks. Testing will be taking place in the media center, which will be closed for the duration. (Hopefully we will be able to open the last block most days, depending on when students finish their tests). The book return box will be outside the library and students should ask their teachers to email us if they require a certain book.

Thanks for understanding, and good luck everyone!

Library Baby Contest

The library media center is going baby crazy. Next week will be my last week before my maternity leave, and all the students are trying to guess whether I will have a boy or a girl. It's great to hear all their predictions and reasons why it is a boy or a girl. Entry forms for the official contest are due next week, and the prize is no library late fees until the baby's first birthday. Several students are quite interested in that! Stay tuned to this space for baby pictures later in April.

Romance Contest

For the month of February, we held a Matchmaker's Romance contest. Students were asked to match literary couples together with their books. This was a tough one, as there was not a single student who had read every book on the list. I had not even read them all! But they worked hard to find out all the correct couples and titles. Molly was our winner and received a Starbucks gift card and some chocolate. Congratulations to Molly and everyone who entered!
