A big THANK YOU! to PTO for helping make our fall book fair a great success. We made a profit of over $1,000, which will primarily be used as reading incentives for our students. Teams are now being formed. Check with Mrs. McLemore if you want to join in the battles. BATTLE OF THE BOOKS 2010 We will be conducting the Battle of the Books competition differently this year. Instead of meeting during Intramurals, Battle of the Books members will be enrolled in a second semester rotation class that will be dedicated to the reading and discussion of the new Battle of the Books selections. Students who wish to be involved in Battle of the Books should visit with their school counselor to enroll in one of the two second semester classes. Mrs. Mc Lemore will be teaching these classes.
