New Book for a New School Year

Stay tuned for our next school-wide read. Our classes will be reading Wonder by RJ Palacio beginning in a few weeks. You are welcome to join us in reading the book at home. I promise this book will offer lots to talk about with your family.

August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid--but his new classmates can't get past Auggie's extraordinary face. Wonder, a #1 New York Times bestseller, begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community's struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel "a meditation on kindness" --indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, who proves that you can't blend in when you were born to stand out. - from Amazon.com 

This Means War!

We are in the middle of a war at school. A lemonade war! Students were encouraged to form teams and work together on a lemonade stand. Today they set up in the hallways and were judged by their peers on the lemonade stand and the taste and appearance of their lemonade.
