Illustrator Visit May 10th

On Thursday, May 10th we will be hosting illustrator Brian Deines as part of TD Canadian Children’s Book Week (http://www.bookweek.ca/). Mr. Deines will be giving 4 presentations to our students throughout the day.  In the weeks leading up to the event students are reading books he has illustrated during their library times and in their classrooms.  In some classes, students are responding to his books with art of their own. For more information on the presentation, please go to:http://www.bookweek.ca/authors/brian-deines

Library Monitors: Who are they anyway?

The new header on the blog was a photo taken last week in the library for the yearbook. The photograph club came to take photos of our library monitors.

Can you guess who they are?

I know they are dedicated students who help out in the library before and after school with shelving, decorating, displays and more.

Thanks to all of you!
