Library Announcements Two book recommendations today, because one sort of leads into the other. In The Gospel According to Larry, child prodigy Josh Swensen has to deal with the repercussions of the fame his online alter ego Larry acquires through his anti-consumerism advocacy and website. Especially when it becomes clear that people might be close to figuring out who Larry really is.
In the sequel, Vote for Larry, Josh's best friend Beth kidnaps him to force him to come out of hiding and resume his role as Larry and run for local office. But Josh has other ideas...you see, the Constitution says that you have to be 35 to serve as president. It doesn't put an age limit on running for president.
Related to election things...we have one coming up. Any student who will be 18 by Tuesday, November 5th, is eligible to vote in this election. Students who want to exercise that right and have not yet registered to vote, can come to the Large Commons during mentor period Tuesday through Friday this week and get their voter registration in.
Mrs. Gillespie is looking for students who may be interested in serving on an advisory board for the Hill Top library. Students on the board would help make recommendations about book purchases, evaluate the current collections, and work with teachers to make sure that the library has sufficient resources in content areas. Advisory board members will also help promote library materials through community meeting announcements and social media posts. Anyone who is interested should see Mrs. Gillespie.
Library Card Sign Up Month September is Library Card Sign Up Month!! Do you have a card for your public library? If so, bring it in and show Mrs. Gillespie and win some junk! If you don't, talk to Mrs. Gillespie and she can tell you how you can get one.
Attendance Procedure If there is any change in your child's attendance, please email [email protected] or call 610-527-3230. We will not be requiring hand-written notes, but do need a parent to either email or call in order to make a change. A change may be a late arrival, early dismissal, or absence in either online or in-person attendance.
