Greetings Parents and Guardians!
Happy Reading,

Author Visit with Brandon Mull
Motivation Attack!
Authors, Laughter, and Treats...Oh My!
Recently, the guys have been busy reading Sky Raiders, the first book in Brandon Mull's Five Kingdoms series. Mr. Mull visited us in January and autographed copies of the book for the guys! The group then decided it was the perfect book to use as incentive for Ozzie's Reading Club--which we joined this year. Ozzie's Reading Club is a motivational program offered by the Kane County Cougars baseball team. After we finish the novel and write letters to the author, then we will be rewarded with tickets to a baseball game on April 22nd! Details and permission slips for this exciting field trip opportunity will be coming home soon.
In addition, the members of Guys Read have shown impressive growth on MAP tests and put forth their best efforts on PARCC tests! Before taking these important exams, the guys were welcome to visit the library to fuel up on healthy snacks. We always want their best to shine through, so we were happy that many of them took advantage of this opportunity.
We are looking forward to an action-packed 4th quarter to wrap up this year!
