Litreracy Week and Reading Rally Magazine Fundraiser
Awesome Author Visit with Lisa Graff
We had a great day with author Lisa Graff. There were 3 presentations, an author signing, and a fun lunch. Many students have read her books and collected brag tags to celebrate their reading success. Students can still get brag tags for reading her books if your child is interested. We have lots of pictures with our author and if you would like a copy, send Mrs. Ayrish Booysen an email (shannon.ayrishbooysen@stjohns.k12.fl.us).
Did you get to purchase one of Lisa's Graff's books? If not, there are still a few paperbacks left in the media center. They cost $5 or $6. Stop by the media center and pick one up.
Congratulations to Our Maker, Baker, Creator Contest Winners

Birthday Book Club
The Palencia Elementary School Media Center’s Birthday Book Club is a wonderful way to commemorate your child’s birthday. Your participation not only enriches the library collection, but allows you and your child to be personally involved in its growth.
To take part in the Birthday Book Club donate one new undamaged hardback book. This book should be a book that your child enjoys and one that we don’t have in the media center already. You can choose a new book at the book store or a new book from the Book Fair. A quick check of our library catalog (Destiny) will tell you if we already have the book. If you would prefer, you may make a monetary donation of $15 and your child can choose from recently acquired books that are waiting to be put on the shelves. For more information, contact the media center.
