The fall book fair offers a great opportunity for our older students to serve our younger students. Members of the high school Leadership Classes acted as "shoppers' aides" for our Kindergarten students at the book fair, then read to the students afterward.

Pictured far left are the other three winners. Each of the winners collected clues in the TRW Scavenger Hunt and on Friday put those clues together to come up with the answer - imagine. An imagination is definitely required to Read beyond reality @ your library (the TRW theme).

Author Roger Reid visits LSA!

Our 5th - 8th graders enjoyed a visit by author Roger Reid and his colleague Mark Hainds, from the Longleaf Alliance, on October 6. Mr. Reid told the students that he began saving all his writings in the sixth grade, and he shared with us about his research for his books Longleaf and Space, the writing process for his books, and excerpts from the books. Mr. Hainds told us about the longleaf pine and the longleaf ecoysystem. Mr. Reid also showed us a replica of the Hodges Meteorite and a real iron-nickel meteorite and fossil-containing rocks. We look forward to his next book about Jason and to finding our where it will be set! We know it will be in Alabama!

New Reading Club for High Schoolers Meets

At the organizational meeting of our high school book club, we decided to read Space by Roger Reid and It's Only Temporary by Sally Warner for our October discussion. All high school students are invited to read these and join us on Tuesday, October 13 for our second meeting. At that time we'll also make our final decision on what to read for November.
