Wow! We have already had over 70 people respond on the Read It Forward form to show that they have read Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. The poster in the 8th grade hallway is becoming surrounded by ribbons of the readers. What an amazing result after only a few weeks, and what an amazing opportunity to share a common reading experience with others here at C.D. Fulkes. If you have not read it yet but want to, stop by the library and we’ll put your name down to receive a copy if someone asks us to pass theirs on.
In May the author, Jordan Sonnenblick, is coming to speak about his experiences as an author of this book and the sequel, After Ever After. The sequel is also a Lone Star book if you are looking for another great title. Since the auditorium will not hold everyone, we will invite everyone who has read the book plus the two grade levels with the most participants. At this point it looks like 6th grade really wants to go because they’re passing the book like crazy!
In May we will also participate in a 2K race to benefit Dell Children’s Hospital’s library program. More details will follow, but you won’t want to be left out – especially since it will be happening off campus on a school day! Read, read, read, my friends, so we can show the other middle schools how it’s done!
