Hey, Mustangs! Don't miss your chance to take advantage of the great programs going on at the Fort Mill Public Library this month. The program this month is a Back to School event; Ms. Bethany has some great crafts and games planned!
The Read Your Way to the Big Game competition is back at SMS for the fourth year and we could not be more excited! The competition kicked off this morning, with each student receiving their reading log today in homeroom. Students have between now and November 5th to read and log 6 books. All completed and signed logs returned to the Media Center before that date will earn that student:
Schools with at least 70% participation are also entered to win $2,000 for their school library. There is also an optional video and door decorating contest that we invite students and homerooms to enter. See Mrs. Keefer for more details!
All students will learn more about how to navigate our new layout when you visit with your Language Arts teacher, beginning next week, but to give you a brief overview, fiction is now organized by genre. Within each genre, books are still organized by author's last name. It was a big process! Here's how we did it:
We are so excited for you all to try out our new system and hope it will help making finding new books easier! As you might guess, many books could have easily fit into many genres. We tried to place books in the genre we thought most students would expect to find them in, but if you think there might be a better home for it, we're open to suggestions! Please let us know how you're liking our new "bookstore style" layout!
