Enrichment Trip

Hey there ladies and gents!  I wanted to let you guys know that I will be leading an enrichment trip in November.  We will be going to eat at Red Lobster and then going to the Carson Center in Paducah to see the play My Fair Lady.  For more information, come see me in the library.  Forms and money for the trip must be turned in by September 7th.

Mrs. Locker's 2nd Semester Picks

• Jane in Bloom by Deborah Lytton (5 AR Points): Jane's big sister, Lizzie, has always been the center of attention. No one ever pays attention to boring, plain Jane. But when Jane's twelfth birthday marks the beginning of Lizzie's final descent into a fatal eating disorder, Jane discovers that the only thing harder than living in her big sister's shadow is living without her.


• Unwind by Neil Shusterman (14 AR Points): In a society where unwanted teens are slavaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them.


• Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham (8 AR Points): With two attorneys for parents, thirteen-year-old Theodore Boone knows more about law than most lawyers do. But when a high profile murder trial comes to his small town and Theo gets pulled into it, it's up to this amateur attorney to save the day.


• Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper (8 AR Points): Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her whole school--but no one knows it. Most people--her teachers and doctors included--don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-level alphabet lessons again and again. If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows...but she can't, because Melody can't talk. She can't walk. She can't write. Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind--that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice...but not everyone around her is ready to hear it.
