Bookfair at MMS!!

Exciting news our Scholastic bookfair at MMS was a huge success thanks to the endless efforts of Georgetta Olson and Kathy Nida our bookfair chairs.  The pirate theme was a fun one with all of the great decorations.
Our bookfair chairs held a contest on guessing items in a jar and there was even a special drawing for teachers who attended the bookfair. Mrs. Ratcliff was our big winner.

Congratulation Mrs. Rateliff

We actually exceeded our goal for books purchased!!  This allowed the media center to choose some popular titles for the kids and even a few extra for some of the teachers. 

Election Day

In our library we put up a display highlighting the election.  It was interesting to see all the issues that were part of this campaign.  We also displayed some books that had relevant topics.  There were a couple of students who were very interested in the display and commented on their choice for president.

Yesterday I was honored to be asked to be a voting judge by Mr. Gottfredson and Mr. Swenson for our 8th grade social studies classes.  They came into a polling place that was set up and had to initial their registration. Then they were given a ballot to choose their candidate for president.  It was very interesting to go through the process with them.  The signing in and the teaching of having to fill in the oval for the ballot.  Funny how you think that should be obvious.  The best part for the kids was getting the sticker that said "I Voted."  A great experience for students!
