Congrats to Our AVID Scholars!
We are happy to announce our new AVID Scholars for the 2023-2024 school year. These students completed an application, wrote reflections, and participated in an interview to be chosen for this amazing program . We are so excited about all the new opportunities and experiences headed their way! Be sure to congratulate these new AVID Scholars, when you see them.
Congratulations to Euneke McLemore! (7th Grade)
Euneke is our March winner of the "I Love Books" campaign and receives a $15.00 Gift Card to Books-A-Million for recommending the book, Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz. Euneke likes this book because "the book is about a jewish boy who lived in Warsaw (who was actually a real person) and how he went through the troubles of the Holocaust. He was taken to many camps throughout many years and experienced so many terrible things in those camps...to the point it barely even affected him anymore." Euneke recommends this book to "people who like history and WW2. The book truly shows the horrors of the holocaust and the traumatic experiences that were brought with it." Please read below to see what Prisoner B-3087 is all about. It might just be your next favorite book!
Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz:
Survive. At any cost.
10 concentration camps. 10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner -- his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death, only to confront it again seconds later. Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will -- and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside? Based on an astonishing true story.
Archery Camp
It's time to start thinking about the summer! If you are looking for something to do with your kids this summer we would love to have them for our 7th annual White Knoll Archery Camp. You can send in the form or click the Google Form link to register your student. The camp is open to completed 4th grade to 12th grade and will be held June 12-15, 2023 from 9:00 a.m. until noon at the Carolina Springs Middle school gym. The cost is $80 and registration/participation is only guaranteed by full payment. Once we are full, that's it. All equipment is provided for camp. We will also be holding an open range session each day after camp from 12:15 to 2:15 for an additional fee.
Come join the original Archery camp in the Midlands and be trained by our multi-time state champions. Camp is not just for Lexington 1 students, we are open to everyone, in state or out! Feel free to share as well.
