A Passion for Print Book Club Donates 700 Books to Lowell!

A Passion for Print Book Club celebrated reading their fiftieth book by donating 700 books to our media center! The book club could have chosen an exotic trip or night on the town but instead they put their love of literature into play and helped put more books into our students’ hands.

On August 11th three of the members enlisted a husband, son, and several grandchildren to help deliver the fourteen boxes of books to Lowell. They visited classrooms from each grade, interacting with our students and teachers. The excitement was felt by all. The students were so anxious to check out the books, but first they needed to be catalogued. As of August 27, 2010, all books were ready to go!

Library Helpers

Our wonderful library helpers volunteered time during their lunch recess to help our kindergarten and 1st grade students check out books.

Parents' Reading Club

New to Lowell is our Parents Reading Club. Parents come to the media center between 8:30 and 8:40 AM to read to their children. Kelvin's mom is reading a book about snowflakes.

Guest Reader Ms. Waite

Ms. Celia Waite, Intstructional Technology Director from our District Office, came to read to Mr. Ross's fourth grade students. She read America's White Table by Margot Theis Raven. A discussion about our country's veterans followed with Ms. Waite telling about her father who was a veteran wounded in Vietnam. The students left dedicated to wish a veteran they know a "Happy Veterans Day!"

Guest Reader
