Students are asked to wear nice school clothes, please avoid jeans and tee shirts if possible. Generally, solid colors are better looking on stage. Students must abide by dress code for the concert. Students should arrive at 6:15 and report to line-up area, third graders on the left side of the auditorium in the hall, fourth graders to the right outside the Choir Room. We are not available to supervise students before 6:15. Please be sure your student is in shoes or sandals with a strap around the ankle - flip flops are dangerous on risers and are not good concert wear.

Youth Media Awards in Library Class
It has been an awesome celebration of books, reading and learning about the Youth Media Awards in the library the past 2 months! We wrapped up all of these units this week by watching the announcement of the Youth Media Awards in library class. Here are the results of our school voting:
Our DK-1st grade students participated in Mock Geisel during their library classes, and selected How Old is Mr. Tortoise? by Dev Petty as their winner.
Our 2nd-4th grade students participated in Mock Caldecott during their library classes, and selected Knight Owl By Christopher Denise as their winner! (Knight Owl also won an actual Caldecott Honor Medal, too!)
Congratulations to Brooklyn, Fairbairn, the winner of this year’s Mock Caldecott medal design contest. Her winning design will go on the books our students voted on and selected as our Mock Caldecott winner and honor books this year!
Some 4th grade students chose to come to the library during their lunch recess 2 days a week for 6 weeks to participate in the Sibert Smackdown. They choose Luminous as their winner!
Be sure to ask your child which book they voted for and if they have any book recommendations for you from our Mock Award lists!
