	Outlast, Outplay, Outread!

Our theme for the 2010-2011 school year is: Outlast, Outplay, Outread!!

The theme was chosen by the Fifth Graders and the staff. We will have different challenges each month. The April challenge is to decorate a cover for an "ugly cover" AR book that will make other students want to read it. Each child who decorates a cover will recieve a small prize and the best 5 covers will win a prize at the end of April. "Ugly Covers" are books that have been rebound and have a cloth pattern cover instead of a picture from the book. The children's covers will be laminated and used on the books to encourage other students to read them!


	Welcome!

Student visit the Media Center daily if needed to choose books. Kindergarten and First Grade students can check out one book at a time. Second-Fifth Grade students are allowed two books at one time. Parent are welcome to visit and check out additional books for their child. Remember to sign in at the office!

Please help us by taking good care of each book that you check out. Help keep our books in great shape for other readers.

See you in the Media Center soon!

Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Souleyrette


	Camp Sawmills Readers

We will recognize students who have earned their Accelerated Reader t-shirts. Our recognitions are on the first and third Fridays of each month. If you haven't earned a shirt, check your reading log for the requirements for your grade level. Additional recognitions are held mid-year and at the end-of-the-year.

A big thank-you to our business partners for their wonderful support each year providing shirts for us! If you know of businesses who would like to help with our shirts, please contact the school.

	Community Library

We have a special section of books for families. This shelf includes books about children's growth and development, teaching your children about money, discipline, health issues, and many more topics. An Education Foundation grant funded the starting collection for our Community Library.


	English-Spanish Collection

Our library has a number of books and videos for families who speak Spanish at home. Some of the books are bilingual and others are packets including two books (one in English and one in Spanish). Some of the packets also include a DVD or video of the story. We appreciate the Education Foundation and Blue Ridge Electric for funding the grants for this collection.
