Speed Dating with Books!
As the English II classes continue to emphasize and encourage reading through SSR, Miss Engler offered Mrs. Bissmeyer's, Mrs. Lyons', and Ms. Anderson's classes Speed Dating with Books. Through this activity, students were able to browse through many books and create a personalized To Read List.

AASL Conference
On November 5-8, Miss Engler attended the American Association of School Librarians National Conference in Columbus. I attended great sessions on Research Skills, Collaborating with Public Libraries, and Literature. In addition, I was able to meet several Young Adult authors. One of the books I got autographed, Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Pena and illustrated by Christian Robinson, was just named the 2016 John Newbery Winner and is also a Caldecott Honor Book and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book.
INFOhio Electronic Resources
On Wednesday, December 9 Miss Engler went to the CCSTV11 studio to tape a segment on INFOhio Electronic Resources for the Tips for Preschool Parents program. This segment was shared with all 21 of the INFOhio Information Technology Centers around the state of Ohio. I received a very nice thank you letter from Laura Sponhour, Outreach Specialist for INFOhio and a congratulatory letter from Superintendant Adrian Allison.
