South voted Upside
Down in the Middle of Nowhere by Julie Lamana as its choice for the
2019 Rebecca Caudill book of the year. How did the rest of Illinois
vote? Stop in to the library next week and find out. In our alternate selection category, Towers Falling by Jewel Parker Rhodes stole the vote. If you'd
like to read either of these books or any of our selections from this year,
come see us in the library!
Read Across America Week is next week, March
4th-8th. Stay tuned for information on
fun ways to celebrate with us in the library and earn raffle tickets for drawings
that will take place on the 8th.
To celebrate the first day of Read Across
America Week, Monday is going to be a pajama day. So, roll out of bed and wear
your pjs to school! Bring a book to read
for our Lounge & Read Day.
On Tuesday, March 5th you
can join Student Council in the sewing room after school until 4:25 to make
toys and beds for the animals at Anderson Animal Shelter. All are welcome to
come help!
Don’t get put in the doghouse, join us at North on Tuesday evening at 6:30 for the GMSS Book Club. This would be a great weekend to curl up and read A Dog’s Purpose, or another dog-related book, and then come out on Tuesday night to
share your love of dogs over pizza. See
Mrs. Fedor or Mrs. Hollis for details.
The
collection drive for Anderson Animal Shelter will continue all next week! There are so many things you can donate that
will help the shelter. Anything from paper towels or shredded newspaper to pet
store gift cards are helpful, but a full list can be found around the school
and on the video announcements. You can
bring your donations to the Main Office. Homeless pets need our help too!

Wear Day and Friday is Geneva Spirit day.
