Last Book Club of the Year

What fun we had welcoming the new 6th grade book club members and celebrating a fun school year with 7th and 8th during lunches and breaks.  As always, it was a blast to have Mr. Brinkley, the Teen Librarian at the Sandy Springs Public Library, join us for this celebration.  He told us about the wonderful reading contest and free programs going on for teens this summer!  This year, if only 75 students participate in the reading program, Mr. Brinkley will get a pie in the face at the back-to-school celebration, and students who turn in more than one log will get three pies to throw!  He is such a good sport. 

In addition to enjoying a pizza party, all students received a free paperback of their choice and the 6th and 7th graders had the opportunity to check out three library books over the summer.  They may check up to six with parental permission.

I'm so looking forward to book clubs next year!



My 8th grade babies are all grown up and ready for high school.  What a privilege to know these amazing students.  I said I wasn't going to cry, but we all knew better!  I will miss them so much.





Sweet seventh-grade book club girls picking their free books!

Sarah is so excited about her free book!

Mr. Brinkley brought a fun flower tower students put together.  It's Petey Piranha from Mario Brothers and got the kids excited about the Mario Kart race that will kick off the summer reading program at the Sandy Springs Public Library.
