August 31st Deadline

I just wanted to remind students and parents that the deadline is fast approaching to be eligible for the August library drawing. If you read at least 1 AR book and complete the quiz you qualify for the drawing. Remember to let me know before next Wednesday so that we can get your name in the pot for the August drawing. The prize selection is getting better each day thanks to businesses in the community. So...don't forget August 31st! Happy Reading!!!

The Bluegrass Books Have Arrived.

The Bluegrass Books are now available at the CCMS library. The Bluegrass Books were awarded to CCMS by the Kentucky Reading Association. These books are picked by students across Kentucky as some of the most outstanding new books. Students at CCMS who choose to read 7 of the 10 Bluegrass Books and complete the AR Test with 85% accuracy will be rewarded with a pizza and movie party at the end of the year. There are only 2 copies of each title in the Library so don't dealy checking yours out. CCMS sends a big thank you to the Kentucky Reading Association for making these books available to our students. Happy Reading!

AR HAS BEGUN....

The first period of AR Goals will begin on August 22 and end on October 6. Students should bring home the results of their STAR Reading test on August 22 as well as their goal for the first AR period. Encourage your student to read daily and work hard to meet their AR goal. Students who meet their AR goal will be rewarded at the end of the 1st AR period. If you have any questions about Accelerated Reader feel free to contact the CCMS Library.

Also encourage your student to complete one book and AR test before August 31st to qualify for this months library drawing. Happy Reading!!!!

CELEBRATE READING

Its time to celebrate the start of a new school year. So.... the Library Media Center's theme for the month of August is "Celebrate Reading". You can celebrate with an old favorite or find a new favorite, but just celebrate with a good book. Remember to complete your book and AR test and get your name in for the August 31st drawing. Students make sure that you see Ms. Nathalie to fill out the appropriate form to qualify for the drawing. Happy Reading and Have a GREAT new year.
