This past summer I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend time with my family, get caught up around the house, go on a few vacations, and read some books. What did you do over the summer? Did you read any good books? I have to say that my favorite book that I read this summer was New Moon. Since then I’ve become a huge Jacob fan and I am anticipating the New Moon movie on November 20, 2009. Watch the movie trailer at http://www.twilightthemovie.com/

Our library classes will be starting up soon but if you need a SSR (silent sustained reading) book, come by the library before/after school or during any lunch. Come by and say “hi” or if you are new, introduce yourself. I can’t wait to see everyone!
