Announcements-Monday, April 1st-A Day

  • FROM THE LIBRARY:
  1.  Summit’s First Ever Book Madness bracket is over.  The winning book was WONDER!  28 students correctly guessed that Wonder would win it all, so I drew 2 prize winners.  Audrey Allen and Luke McCammon can come to the library some time this week to pick a prize.  Thank you to everyone that voted!
  2. As we approach the end of the year, the library is going to start limiting checkouts to 2-3 books per student at a time for the month of April.  You can always stop in to exchange books.
  3. You have until the end of April to read this year’s Children’s and Teen Choice Books for our Reading Challenge.  Use this link to record any of the titles you have read:  https://forms.gle/cFe4pXQ9FyryrgKz8.    Random prize winners this month are: Layla Hart, Aubrey O’Leary, and Jackson Lansink.  Come see me in the library to collect your prize.
