It's Wednesday! What's happening in the Sommer Library?

We just wrapped up our on-site Fall Scholastic Book Fair!  Thanks to the efforts of our volunteers, the support of our administrators and teachers, and the purchases from our learning community, we exceeded our sales goal!  The funds we raised will pay for author visits, books, and programs like the Bluebonnet Breakfast for our students.

Speaking of author visits....we had Chris Barton on our campus last week!

Mr. Barton, the author of Bluebonnet nominee Whoosh and several other great books on our shelves, spoke with second and third graders in the morning.  After lunch in the library, he held mini-sessions with doubled-up third grade classes in their rooms.  They loved getting up close to an author to learn more about his life and career!

Classes returned to the library today for our regular schedule.  We put new books out on the shelves, including those purchased upon recommendation of our new Stallion Readers' Advisory Club.  They know what kids want to read!  Here are some of the new books:

Our fifth grade Book Lunch Bunch meets for the first time next Monday; check your email this week for details!

Thanks again for supporting our library program here at Sommer Elementary!
