Sora is an app that provides access to a collection of ebooks and audiobooks that we share with Memorial and the High School. This slideshow will help you login if you haven't used Sora before. If you have any trouble logging in or using Sora, please email me at gartleel@spsdme.org. If there is an ebook or audiobook you are looking for that you can't find on Sora, please let me know, and I will do my best to find it for you!

Malcolm X Day
Malcolm X was born on this day in 1925. Malcolm X was an American Muslim minister and human rights activist who was a popular figure during the civil rights movement.
World Plant a Vegetable Garden Day
World Plant a Vegetable Garden Day is actually a new observance, launched just last year by Bob Matthews of Rochester, NY. Bob is owner and author of The Gardener's Network, Garden Hobbies, and Pumpkin Nook. Bob is also an avid, life time gardener.
May Ray Day
May Ray Day is a day to get outside and enjoy the sun's rays. The forecast looks warm and sunny in South Portland today, so be sure to get outside and soak up some sun (with sunblock, of course)!

20-Day Song Challenge: Day 13
A song challenge for the 20 school days in May! For Day Thirteen, "A song that's a classic favorite" I selected "Take Me Home Country Roads" by John Denver. What would you choose? What would you recommend I keep in mind for future songs? Email me at gartleel@spsdme.org.
