Jason Reynolds Author Visit
APS Media Services teamed up with Page Turners Make Great Learners to bring the amazing Jason Reynolds to Atlanta Public Schools! 30 students were chosen from each school to attend and we had a wonderful time! Mr. Reynolds shared insight on becoming an author and how important it is to see ourselves reflected in the books we read. It was truly a great experience for all!

We Love New Books
Another one of our Donors Choose projects was fully funded! We got about $1,000 worth of new books donated to the JCYMS Media Center! We are so grateful! Our students have been very excited about the new books!
New Books
Most of these books were donated by Donors Choose. Some were donated by neighbors and friends of JCYMS.

These two girls were discussing which books to get!
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
A neighbor of JCYMS donated the entire series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and our students LOVE them! (You can never have too may copies of these books!)
