October 2021
Dear Parents and Students,
Happy October!
September flew by! In the library this month, we talked about the 14 Red Dirt Book Nominees and how to place books on hold using our Destiny program. This week we started viewing book trailers for our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair. Our book fair will be from Oct. 7th-13th. Please look below for more information.
We will have a Pumpkin Decorating Contest after Fall Break. Look below for details.
Thank you to our 8th grade Media Aides. They did a fabulous job on our window displays for the library!
Looking forward to a great month of fun activities!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Williams
Scholastic Book Fair

The Scholastic Book Fair will be here from Thursday, Oct. 7th to Wednesday, Oct. 13th. Every grade level will have scheduled times to come to the library and enjoy the book fair through their Literacy or English classes.
Scholastic will be offering eWallet and Online Shopping again this year. We are also happy to announce that we can have Parent Volunteers help us in the library during the book fair. If you are interested in signing up to help or want to set up your child's eWallet, please look at Summit's Scholastic Book Fair website for more details. Online Shopping will be available on Oct. 7th.
