Author Study Updates
Stuart Gibbs Author Visit
In preparation for the author visit, students have the opportunity to experience and engage with the various novels written by Stuart Gibbs on their teams. The teams at Greene are diving into various series and work of Mr. Gibbs prior to his visit.
In the upcoming weeks, teams will be holding contests to encourage students to continue reading and exploring these novels. For each book read, students will receive one entry into a raffle, taking place on every team. Once in February and once in March, one students from each team will be selected to win a copy of one of Stuart Gibbs books.
Additional school wide activities and contests will be announced in the coming weeks!
