Welcome back!
Happy September and welcome back to the school and the library!
Reminder to students that books can be checked out anytime the library is open. You can check out up to 5 books at a time, and you get to keep them for up to 3 weeks.
When you’re finished return your books to the library book drops located in the hallway right outside the library, or in the side of the main library desk. If you aren’t done your book after 3 weeks come speak to us and we can renew it for you.
Happy reading!

Sudoku in the Library
T
here’s a new interactive display in the library where you can test your numeracy skills; it’s a giant Sudoku board! The board will change weekly so you can give it a try more than once. We just ask that you return the yellow number to the storage area after you’re done so that other students can give it a try. Not sure how to play? Check out this site for instructions.
LITERACY WEEK: April 17-21
Literacy Week at Alpha is back. To promote a love of reading and learning we will have fun activities running each day, at lunch and after school.
