Week of January 16

Hope everyone had a great MLK weekend!  I want to give a big shout-out to Aidan Small, the winner of last week’s Geography Bee.  He and 11 other 4th and 5th graders battled it out on Thursday afternoon, answering questions about US and world geography.  Congratulations to Aidan and everyone who competed!!

The Bookworm is Growing…

Very soon, you will start seeing the smiling faces of Elizabeth Haddon authors beaming at you from the growing body of our Bookworm, which inches along the hallway wall outside the APR.  Your child can have their place up on the wall too–by writing an original story for our Bookworm program.  Your child writes and illustrates an original story, and we will turn it into a bound book that can be checked out of the Lizzie Library.  And at the end of the year, we hold a big celebration for all of our writers with a special assembly in the APR.  Use the Bookworm Template and the Bookworm Submission Form to complete your first draft.  Any questions, don’t hesitate to contact co-chairs Laurie Verderame at freeme64@verizon.net, Lauren Walsh at lwalsh@verizon.net or Diana Ellery at dellery@comcast.net.
