Congratulations to our 4th and 5th grade Battle of the Books team for placing 3rd in the district finals last week! This dedicated group of students began reading the 18 chapter books on the NC state list last summer. They met weekly in the Media Center for team meetings to discuss the books, strategize, and practice battling. Team members had to exhibit good sportsmanship and collaborate with each other to answer questions about the books. Battle of the Books is a wonderful way for readers to connect with their peers through quality literature and broaden their typical reading scope.
These students should be commended for their hard work, dedication, sportsmanship, and book knowledge! Well done, manatees!

Glad to be back!
Thank you all for your warm welcome as I returned from maternity leave on March 1st. Mrs. Derby did a wonderful job in my absence!
I would like to introduce you to the newest little reader in our family, Jack Henry :)
