Fifth grade students will have an opportunity to assist with the management and organization of this club. Permission slips to join the club went home twice to make sure we did not miss anyone.

T.S. COOLEY BOOK BUZZ - RECOMMENDATIONS FROM FRIENDS
Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not So Secret Crush Catastrophe
This book was written by Rachel Renee Russell. I like this book because it was funny but also had a lot of dramatic scenes. It is a great book to read quickly (it is worth 3 AR points). It motivated me to read. - Sydnee, 5th grade
Dear Sister
This book was written by Alison McGee. I really liked Dear Sister because it teaches you that the older you get the more mature you will get. It reminds you to never leave out your siblings. - Raegan, 5th grade
The House That Jane Built: A Story About Jane Addams
MAKE PLANS NOW TO HELP WITH OUR HOLIDAY SHOP
NEW TO OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER - STUDENT EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND AWARDS
T.S. Cooley has many students that shine here and away from campus. We showcase many of their accomplishments at school in our yearbook, shine boards, morning assemblies and awards days.

We have many athletes, musicians, dancers, singers and other talented students who we would like to showcase. If you would like to share their accomplishments, please send a jpg photo and a short paragraph explaining the photo with details about the activity, length of time they have been participating, type of honor they are receiving or other information to barbara.lawrence@cpsb.org We will begin posting these next week.
