In observance of banned book week, we are celebrating our right to read. This Thursday we will have a read-out at lunch in the library. Please select your favorite novel passage to share with us. We also have a bit of trivia to test your banned book knowledge. Today's two trivia questions are:
- What popular 21st century novel series has made the banned book list every year since it was published?
- What novel series was contested this year at VVHS?
Please drop your answer and first and last name off at the library, a correct answer will enter you in a drawling. You must be present Thursday during lunch to win.
MESA students please drop off your completed registration paper work to either Ms. Conell or Mrs. Bitner ASAP.Students: You may heard that there is no such thing as a "free lunch," but that is not true for Isaiah Jantz. Isaiah is the winner of the Design-A-Sneaker contest in Economics, and he will be treated to a free lunch by the Economics teachers, Mrs. Jones, Mr. Gilmore, Mr. Castro and Ms. Torres. Congratulations to Isaiah! His winning sneaker design is on display outside room E203.
