Summer Reading

At our first all school meeting on September 10, eleven students were honored for their participation in the summer reading program. Each of these students read at least 8 books over the summer. They received a Reading Certificate, and they were able to choose two books to add to their personal libraries. Students honored were: Adam Zienkiewicz, Alyssa Allaire, Jenna Weigler, Kailee Ely, Justin Kaminski, Aidan Hughes, Patrick McVey, Emily Rourke, Karrie Cormier, Sarah Stantial, Jenna Thibault. Congratulations Summer Readers!

Back to School

September 1 - summer is over. (Did we have a summer?) Teachers are gathered to get ready for the real first day of school - tomorrow - when the students arrive. This year, our school community is again reading a school-wide book. The title is Gooney Bird Greene by Lois Lowry. Gooney Bird is quite a girl - a free spirited second grader with amazing writing talents. At first her stories seem outlandish, but she assures her teacher that they are absolutely true - and they are! I am hoping that Gooney Bird will inspire Bartlett students to write their own fabulous stories. Books will be handed out on September 10, Parent Information Night. I guarantee that you will fall in love with Gooney Bird.
