2012 P A R E N T C H A L L E N G E 2013

We started off the school

year with a Drop Everything

And Read campaign where all

students participated inreading throughout the day.

The library also hosted a

Scholastic Book Fair, which

was the most successful to

date!

This year a new program

has been added to the library.

On Friday afternoons, with the

help of Geoff McMartin,

Games Day has been

launched. Join us as we learn

new games and have fun.

In addition to welcoming

students into the library, we

also took a group of 15

students to Kidsbooks. Theresult of this trip was the

addition, to the library, of 5

huge boxes of new books.

Last week also marked the

completion of FYP Reading

Week. You can tell from the

big, juicy caterpillar in the

lobby how successful this was!

Thank you to all of the

parents who have been

supporting our efforts to

encourage a culture of reading

at Southpointe Academy. Our

parent volunteers have been

saviours as we have been busyreorganizing sections of the

library and cataloguing the

new books. Feel free to stop

by the library in the New Year

and visit us.

-Jess & Steph

Its been a busy term in the library!
