When a positive case is confirmed, we alert, through an email, parents of students that are in classes, on the bus, or have had close contact with the student who tested positive.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While we require students to stay home when they have tested positive for COVID-19, we are also finding that students are missing school when they exhibit illness, including potential symptoms of COVID-19, while they wait for the results of a PCR test. Because it takes a bit of time to get the results on most PCR tests, those students are missing a few days of school at a minimum. In an effort to support all our students that are out of school due to illness, I would like to highlight a couple ways that we can help our students keep up with their schooling. </span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If students are well enough to do school work, they should access their school Google accounts. In the Google suite, students can access their Google Classrooms for each of their classes. Teachers use the Google suite to distribute handouts, assignments and other documents to their students.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Even with the documents and handouts for their classes, students might still struggle with their missed schoolwork. A great way for your students to get the help they need from their teachers is to email them. Sometimes a quick email back is all a student needs to get going on their missed work. Othertimes, the teacher may develop a different plan for the student to focus on priority assignments and scheduling times to meet up when the student returns to school. Please know that the entire staff and I want your student to be as successful as possible. </span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white;

We will be available to answer any questions or point you in the right direction. Please join us for coffee, muffins and conversation in the Lurgio Dining Hall from 9am-10am on Tuesday September 28.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><h1 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Masks on the Bus</span></h1><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is a reminder to all families of bus riders: per </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/pdf/Mask-Order-CDC_GMTF_01-29-21-p.pdf&source=gmail&ust=1632599888794000&usg=AFQjCNHBzRyTTL8QjpwlNYcyEImjms0xJQ" href="https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/pdf/Mask-Order-CDC_GMTF_01-29-21-p.pdf" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">CDC order</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, all persons riding public transportation (including school bus transportation) are required to wear a mask.

During this initial pilot year, Lurgio administration will be communicating with families about advisory topics and other important information as we develop this exciting new program.</span></p><br /><h1 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Health Office information for 2021-2022 School Year</span></h1><br /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">From Lurgio School Nurse, Ms. Chessie (</span><a href="mailto:chessiee@bedfordnhk12.net" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">chessiee@bedfordnhk12.net</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">):</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Parents, </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I hope you and your families had a great summer!

We are asking all families to read, discuss, and sign this document to help ensure a happy, safe, and nurturing environment for all. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> </p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Please click </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IEjBYjgGX7RvR146Lx1PzD35HSjqu-fDjADU9MiaPkE/edit?usp%3Dsharing&source=gmail&ust=1630179989549000&usg=AFQjCNGdShGpv05XMUuQw-gzMrTtjrqxwA" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IEjBYjgGX7RvR146Lx1PzD35HSjqu-fDjADU9MiaPkE/edit?usp=sharing" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">HERE</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for an electronic copy of the agreement.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Please click </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://forms.gle/XYFzzLyWEWzX7zsY9&source=gmail&ust=1630179989549000&usg=AFQjCNFfRry6kve-SN4wrahKAfc3EMkcOg" href="https://forms.gle/XYFzzLyWEWzX7zsY9" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">HERE</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to electronically sign the document.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> </p><h1 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">BHS Basketball Clinic</span></h1><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Calling all basketball players!

They are often seeking support from their community or they're just unsure of what to do or how to parent a second time around. The Kinship Navigation Program provides just that.

The mission of this advisory period is to balance the academic, social, and emotional growth of students by developing more connections within the school community to foster a positive and safe school culture and climate. Specific goals for advisory include working on self-management, developing interpersonal skills, and fostering responsible decision making. During this initial pilot year, Lurgio administration will be communicating with families about advisory topics and other important information as we develop this exciting new program.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><h1 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Health Office information for 2021-2022 School Year</span></h1><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">From Lurgio School Nurse, Ms. Chessie (</span><a href="mailto:chessiee@bedfordnhk12.net" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">chessiee@bedfordnhk12.net</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">):</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Parents, </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I hope you and your families had a great summer!

Thursday, August 26th is the first day of school for students. As we work to put the final touches on our building preparation, we can’t help but be excited about the first day with students. The energy in the building is ramping up as teachers return and prepare their classrooms, but there is nothing like the energy of our school when its classrooms are finally filled with students.</span></p><br style="background-color: white;

The mission of this advisory period is to balance the academic, social, and emotional growth of students by developing more connections within the school community to foster a positive and safe school culture and climate. Specific goals for advisory include working on self-management, developing interpersonal skills, and fostering responsible decision making. During this initial pilot year, Lurgio administration will be communicating with families about advisory topics and other important information as we develop this exciting new program.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><h1 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Health Office information for 2021-2022 School Year</span></h1><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">From Lurgio School Nurse, Ms. Chessie (</span><a href="mailto:chessiee@bedfordnhk12.net" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">chessiee@bedfordnhk12.net</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">):</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Parents, </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I hope you and your families had a great summer!

We faced many hurdles together as parents, staff, and students. As I reflect on the Lurgio Community, I can’t help but feel a sense of gratitude and pride. Parents, thank you for all of your support and flexibility as you aided your children and sometimes the school at large to handle the numerous changes to our operating procedures. Staff, I appreciate your indefatigable drive to serve your students and support one another. That is why Lurgio is a very special place. Students, you have been my inspiration all year. I am awestruck at how you have consistently exceeded expectations as you navigate each new challenge in front of you.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";

Deeply ashamed of his nation's leaders, fifteen-year-old Knud Pedersen resolved with his brother and a handful of schoolmates to take action against the Nazis if the adults would not. Naming their secret club after the fiery British leader, the young patriots in the Churchill Club committed countless acts of sabotage, infuriating the Germans, who eventually had the boys tracked down and arrested. But their efforts were not in vain: the boys' exploits and eventual imprisonment helped spark a full-blown Danish resistance.

She almost never goes out, doesn’t talk to new people, and finds making eye contact to be nearly impossible. But then one day she meets Linus. Linus is her brother’s friend and a sensitive spirit with whom she can talk through her fears. He makes her laugh and doesn’t leave her feeling like she’s being judged. As their friendship deepens, Audrey’s recovery gains momentum, and she and Linus begin to develop feelings for each other. But how can they have a future together when Audrey hasn’t dealt with her past? And how could anyone ever love her once they’ve seen her at her worst? “An outstanding tragicomedy that gently explores mental illness, the lasting effects of bullying, and the power of friends and loving family to help in the healing.”—</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kirkus Reviews,</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Starred</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 10pt;"> </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 10pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I Will Always Write Back</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> : </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How One Letter Changed Two Lives</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Martin Ganada: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">New York Times </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">bestselling true story of an all-American girl and a boy from Zimbabwe and the letter that changed both of their lives forever. It started as an assignment. Everyone in Caitlin's class wrote to an unknown student somewhere in a distant place. Martin was lucky to even receive a pen-pal letter. There were only ten letters, and fifty kids in his class. But he was the top student, so he got the first one. That letter was the beginning of a correspondence that spanned six years and changed two lives. In this compelling dual memoir, Caitlin and Martin recount how they became best friends -- and better people -- through their long-distance exchange. Their story will inspire you to look beyond your own life and wonder about the world at large and your place in it. -Amazon Review</span><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 148px; overflow: hidden; width: 99px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="148" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/DJRHR42Pw0Pi-HZYQlD1XNL4GuBA_WifzCv4CvQkzNRFvDsMAVKRnDVOwBCuOmke4jMiycX7ItUgbqvLSw28gXvsxGEZnnKLvj-Re3UzMUvNwiu-gAzthRqdqjGrfhvxKVaADIQs" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="99" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 10pt;"> <span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 144px; overflow: hidden; width: 97px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="144" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/256AXOcwltqq4eOfqNbM0TY4QRtdyooAjdPau6VissEmyw3b4vDgz_hNgZ1xUpHIOvTqPQzfWJuUJ_NCflH40qrCMz5f-kByKJoqsT3upxqBx1t-dKPsSuTu1o7DgDCBx6tv35Nr" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="97" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 10pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">An Ember in the Ashes</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Sabaa Tahir: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">BOOK ONE IN THE </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">NEW YORK TIMES</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> BESTSELLING SERIES One of </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Time Magazine’</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time; Instant </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">New York Times</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> bestseller; From #1 </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">New York Times </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">bestselling author Sabaa Tahir; Amazon's Best Young Adult Book of 2015; People's Choice Award winner - Favorite Fantasy; Bustle's Best Young Adult Book of 2015.

In response to the warm weather that is predicted for next week, it would be wise to have students pack their water bottles and dress in cool, comfortable clothes.

We will be doing our best next week to make sure the students and staff are as comfortable as possible as we finish the school year.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;

As you know, these simulate several symptoms of covid. As per NH-DHHS, covid parameters for schools have not changed and we are obligated to dismiss any student for covid testing if experiencing any of these symptoms UNLESS we have an MD note on file stating your student has a preexisting condition of seasonal allergies. Please help us avoid an unnecessary dismissal and COVID tests by obtaining these notes for us prior to your student visiting the nurse.

And for as long as he can remember, the old, reliable, comforting walnut tree has stood between his house and the one next door. That is, until a new family—with a particularly annoying girl his age—moves into the neighboring house and, without warning, cuts it down. Oak doesn’t understand why her family had to move to Southern California. She has to attend a new school, find new friends, and live in a new house that isn’t even ready—her mother had to cut down a tree on their property line in order to make room for a second floor. And now a strange boy next door won’t stop staring at her, like she did something wrong moving here in the first place. As Oak and Alder start school together, they can’t imagine ever becoming friends. But the two of them soon discover a series of connections between them—mysterious, possibly even magical puzzles they can’t put together. At least not without each other’s help.</span></p></td></tr><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><br /></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><br /></td></tr><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><br /><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 186px; overflow: hidden; width: 122px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="186" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/4yIfZa9FqmCcVmYD593D6mzOeLhLCHTR8q68BAFbK3TrU98IUd_IqbhxWtw8QevNmw5wvK0PSn_n4LBJrBISMVVPRA0VdwzpuJqRFAoYGxV8Eeqe3Ov4eOHmpXbpzqPNEqc0L3be" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="122" /></span></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do you believe in ghosts?

Just as California’s starting to feel like she’s found a place for herself, life turns upside-down yet again.

As you know, these simulate several symptoms of covid. As per NH-DHHS, covid parameters for schools have not changed and we are obligated to dismiss any student for covid testing if experiencing any of these symptoms UNLESS we have an MD note on file stating your student has a preexisting condition of seasonal allergies. Please help us avoid an unnecessary dismissal and COVID tests by obtaining these notes for us prior to your student visiting the nurse.

As you know, these simulate several symptoms of covid. As per NH-DHHS, covid parameters for schools have not changed and we are obligated to dismiss any student for covid testing if experiencing any of these symptoms UNLESS we have an MD note on file stating your student has a preexisting condition of seasonal allergies. Please help us avoid an unnecessary dismissal and COVID tests by obtaining these notes for us prior to your student visiting the nurse.

She is smart and resourceful, and she manages to make it across the country on her own. But how long can this go on? It’s getting harder to avoid the truth—Holly is now homeless.

Joey Banks is a walking adventure. He’s funny, daring, mischievous—and frequently in trouble. Or he would be if anyone found out about half the stuff he’s done. Luckily, Rusty Cooper knows how to keep a secret. Joey is the best friend Rusty’s ever had, and he’s not going to mess with that. But then comes a secret that is at once too terrible to tell and too terrible to keep. A secret so big it threatens to eat them alive. What would a true friend do now?</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">8th grader Aidan shared Randall Munroe's book, </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Real World Problems</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="123"></col><col width="501"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 140px; overflow: hidden; width: 109px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="140" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/AXnT1vMndCSI2uhsywcg8qLH0XJKiMAj85Stnt-Gs9rD9b-f0GkxL-HYg98entMy4peCtm2bv3wOK3EIR__0FyRbEjp0C-n34xsXIImQTYG0VxQ-zhIf4ylz8bhtNMY2rDObg3ku" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="109" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally complex, excessive, and inadvisable that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole. Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and powering your house by destroying the fabric of space-time. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun. By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in “What If?,” Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and fun illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Looking for a riveting, action packed book of survival?

One year after a random shooting changed their family forever, Nora and her father are exploring a slot canyon deep in the Arizona desert, hoping it will help them find peace. Nora longs for things to go back to normal, like they were when her mother was still alive, while her father keeps them isolated in fear of other people. But when they reach the bottom of the canyon, the unthinkable happens: A flash flood rips across their path, sweeping away Nora's father and all of their supplies. Suddenly, Nora finds herself lost and alone in the desert, facing dehydration, venomous scorpions, deadly snakes, and, worst of all, the Beast who has terrorized her dreams for the past year. If Nora is going to save herself and her father, she must conquer her fears, defeat the Beast, and find the courage to live her new life.</span></p><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ever think about living off the grid?

She hunts rabbits, takes correspondence classes through the mail, and plays dominoes with her family in their two-room cabin. She doesn’t mind not having electricity or running water—instead, she’s got tall trees, fresh streams, and endless sky. But then her parents divorce, and Rigel and her sisters have to move with their mom to the Connecticut suburbs to live with a grandmother they’ve never met. Rigel hates it in Connecticut. It’s noisy, and crowded, and there’s no real nature. Her only hope is a secret pact that she made with her father: If she can stick it out in Connecticut for one year, he’ll bring her back home. At first, surviving the year feels impossible. Middle school is nothing like the wilderness, and she doesn’t connect with anyone . . . until she befriends a crow living behind her school. And if this wild creature has made a life for itself in the suburbs, then, just maybe, Rigel can too. 365 Days to Alaska is a wise and funny debut novel about finding beauty, hope, and connection in the world no matter where you are—even Connecticut.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white;

From now until the end May, you can donate all your old paired shoes, boots, sneakers, heels, etc and your purses/bags too. (no flip flops or cleats). Ecosmith no longer accept old shoes that cannot be reworn or broken zippers. It is important that the special blue or green bags are used and these can be found in the school vestibule. You can deposit the bags directly into the bin in the school parking lot. We would also like to remind you that clothing, fabrics, and stuffed animals can always be donated year round in this bin.

She’s hustled out of her house and into a waiting car, then a plane, and then taken on a forced march into the desert. This is what happens to kids who’ve gone so far off the rails, their parents don’t know what to do with them anymore. This is wilderness therapy camp. Eight weeks of survivalist camping in the desert. Eight weeks to turn your life around. Yeah, right. The Wren who arrives in the Utah desert is angry and bitter, and blaming everyone but herself. But angry can’t put up a tent. And bitter won’t start a fire. Wren’s going to have to admit she needs help if she’s going to survive.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Next up is </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Flipped.</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="118"></col><col width="506"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 155px; overflow: hidden; width: 104px;"><img height="155" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/6a9T9rEy_-yNEjbiihqbsHI1vKj6jkUgf4hoAiRK4QK1NvkHON7Y_1H1RZ5R5pk5qPe1oV7FbgjDuZejTFt9ctDkbbsm5WBKWhuh0BsLaM6uGp12tvwrDIvxCnlwEt4SS2KaINP6" style="border: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="104" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We also invite you to check out </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Running Dream.</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="123"></col><col width="501"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 164px; overflow: hidden; width: 109px;"><img height="164" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/t1RXuhIueRJZTgRL5nnybmFHZZykk3qV7HxJoaiMGdTxC16Lzv2ZrG3ip9B5pVGFz5B3cdIdJpukfAvvOL9YQNvaJwV97RlsTZqnOrsxS9Ah5cM50H8tQCc3LcXfYDO4pIvURqN-" style="border: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="109" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When Jessica is told she’ll never run again, she puts herself back together—and learns to dream bigger than ever before. The acclaimed author of Flipped delivers a powerful and healing story. Jessica thinks her life is over when she loses a leg in a car accident. She’s not comforted by the news that she’ll be able to walk with the help of a prosthetic leg. Who cares about walking when you live to run? As she struggles to cope, Jessica feels that she’s both in the spotlight and invisible. People who don’t know what to say act like she’s not there. Jessica’s embarrassed to realize that she’s done the same to a girl with CP named Rosa. A girl who is going to tutor her through all the math she’s missed. A girl who sees right into the heart of her. With the support of family, friends, a coach, and her track teammates, Jessica may actually be able to run again. But that’s not enough for her now. She doesn’t just want to cross finish lines herself—she wants to take Rosa with her.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Are graphic novels appealing to you?

Aldridge delivers a fantasy adventure with all the makings of a classic. Illustrated with over two-hundred pages of watercolor paintings, this epic graphic novel is perfect for fans of Amulet. Edmund and the Childe were swapped at birth. Now Edmund lives in secret as a changeling in the World Above, his powers hidden from his unsuspecting parents and his older sister, Alexis. The Childe lives among the fae in the World Below, where being a human makes him a curiosity at the royal palace. But when the cruel sorceress Hawthorne seizes the throne, the Childe and Edmund must unite on a dangerous quest to save both worlds—even if they’re not sure which world they belong to.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Next is</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Beetle and the Hollow Bones by </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Aliza Layne</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="123"></col><col width="501"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 164px; overflow: hidden; width: 109px;"><img height="164" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/NZAx5YunwFJ_1lCIvpqISJAQTLgb42-xr2wjr6cpTruZc_hN3rDTlY8ok5VfXBuej8-Qir2fL3ppegC3tuuEfR6uiRuCiv3QRukL8-3wpWf2bGfEVI6pAXF9Brjigv3ZmY6I--is" style="border: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="109" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the eerie town of ‘Allows, some people get to be magical sorceresses, while other people have their spirits trapped in the mall for all ghastly eternity. Then there’s twelve-year-old goblin-witch Beetle, who’s caught in between. She’d rather skip being homeschooled completely and spend time with her best friend, Blob Glost. But the mall is getting boring, and B.G. is cursed to haunt it, tethered there by some unseen force. And now Beetle’s old best friend, Kat, is back in town for a sorcery apprenticeship with her Aunt Hollowbone. Kat is everything Beetle wants to be: beautiful, cool, great at magic, and kind of famous online. Beetle’s quickly being left in the dust. But Kat’s mentor has set her own vile scheme in motion. If Blob Ghost doesn’t escape the mall soon, their afterlife might be coming to a very sticky end. Now, Beetle has less than a week to rescue her best ghost, encourage Kat to stand up for herself, and confront the magic she’s been avoiding for far too long. And hopefully ride a broom without crashing.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And finally, we have</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Beetle and the Hollow Bones by </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Aliza Layne</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="123"></col><col width="501"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 164px; overflow: hidden; width: 109px;"><img height="164" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/NlJBFV_-rrNafX8GkwvQ74eA5v5BC4h-yzbrNVfGDtgU10i-lnDzJ14vnhWaaAnjElDFtq21VQ3_ChHXId-RVqMHSQ3VwfNCwslHBOz1cvF7eXSrH1xRddJ04byBaQfM1lpSS5dc" style="border: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="109" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Yoon Ha Lee's space opera about thirteen-year-old Min, who comes from a long line of fox spirits. But you’d never know it by looking at her. To keep the family safe, Min’s mother insists that none of them use any fox-magic, such as Charm or shape-shifting. They must appear human at all times. Min feels hemmed in by the household rules and resents the endless chores, the cousins who crowd her, and the aunties who judge her. She would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected, dust-ridden, and impoverished planet. She’s counting the days until she can follow her older brother, Jun, into the Space Forces and see more of the Thousand Worlds. When word arrives that Jun is suspected of leaving his post to go in search of the Dragon Pearl, Min knows that something is wrong. Jun would never desert his battle cruiser, even for a mystical object rumored to have tremendous power. She decides to run away to find him and clear his name. Min’s quest will have her meeting gamblers, pirates, and vengeful ghosts. It will involve deception, lies, and sabotage. She will be forced to use more fox-magic than ever before, and to rely on all of her cleverness and bravery. The outcome may not be what she had hoped, but it has the potential to exceed her wildest dreams. This sci-fi adventure with the underpinnings of Korean mythology will transport you to a world far beyond your imagination.</span></p><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;

Reha feels torn between two worlds: school, where she’s the only Indian American student, and home, with her family’s traditions and holidays. But Reha’s parents don’t understand why she’s conflicted—they only notice when Reha doesn’t meet their strict expectations. Reha feels disconnected from her mother, or Amma, although their names are linked—Reha means “star” and Punam means “moon”—but they are a universe apart. Then Reha finds out that her Amma is sick. Really sick. Reha, who dreams of becoming a doctor even though she can’t stomach the sight of blood, is determined to make her Amma well again.

Nora longs for things to go back to normal, like they were when her mother was still alive, while her father keeps them isolated in fear of other people. But when they reach the bottom of the canyon, the unthinkable happens: A flash flood rips across their path, sweeping away Nora's father and all of their supplies. Suddenly, Nora finds herself lost and alone in the desert, facing dehydration, venomous scorpions, deadly snakes, and, worst of all, the Beast who has terrorized her dreams for the past year. If Nora is going to save herself and her father, she must conquer her fears, defeat the Beast, and find the courage to live her new life.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We also invite you to check out </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Girls Like Me</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Lola Stvil:</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="123"></col><col width="501"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 161px; overflow: hidden; width: 109px;"><img height="161" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/yXEC9Qg4JJQrE4_TaOrt3xBiJPm37h3Dy7qf53k9KTmAcsy7Zx7soxuZREW5_mKV2-4BCQ03CxsgEcDeZrEhdaqa29-d5pAOsi_DoaTRv6IFrQf5pOjrIWlU_QnFKzMFu1uc_hEK" style="border: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="109" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Girls Like Me is a fresh poetic take on teen angst, high school romance, and cyber-bullying. A novel-in-verse that is campy like Glee, subversive, and downright funny. Fifteen-year-old Shay Summers is trying to cope with the death of her father, being overweight, and threats from a girl bully in school. When she falls in love with Blake, a mysterious boy online, insecure Shay doesn't want to tell him who she is. But with the help of her two best friends, as well as an assist by Kermit and Miss Piggy, ultimately Shay and Blake’s love prevails. Girls Like Me is a fun and fresh poetic take on teen angst, social media and online anonymity, and high school romance.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Next up is </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before the Ever After</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Jacqueline Woodson:</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="123"></col><col width="501"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 165px; overflow: hidden; width: 109px;"><img height="165" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/TX7fBlYNTZRugo8hzjy5dTxdBJ3KSp6vd6OsnVy788s0zTp_rylQvehOeiTlC3p3HRaQqaKb0lBqpbePCr3U5hhWMPuMpQeZ1GBxVapS7h3KQ9MJy1ntIo2w21uz1LTUuNGdHulC" style="border: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="109" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson's stirring novel-in-verse explores how a family moves forward when their glory days have passed and the cost of professional sports on Black bodies. For as long as ZJ can remember, his dad has been everyone's hero. As a charming, talented pro football star, he's as beloved to the neighborhood kids he plays with as he is to his millions of adoring sports fans. But lately life at ZJ's house is anything but charming. His dad is having trouble remembering things and seems to be angry all the time. ZJ's mom explains it's because of all the head injuries his dad sustained during his career. ZJ can understand that--but it doesn't make the sting any less real when his own father forgets his name. As ZJ contemplates his new reality, he has to figure out how to hold on tight to family traditions and recollections of the glory days, all the while wondering what their past amounts to if his father can't remember it. And most importantly, can those happy feelings ever be reclaimed when they are all so busy aching for the past?</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And finally, we have </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Garvey's Choice</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Nikki Grimes.</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="123"></col><col width="501"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 160px; overflow: hidden; width: 109px;"><img height="160" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/6Td96R9iEqIJGcJbCGEXEKSM5DtWcw7oGEW8cQKooz8276Ay4dzONsFJd3biJ4NhRkXJSSxsKJfw1_l12u5-Qy49ok2Rf3jaapkQVV46BUtxFRDsc8C8uv4oXFfs_l8VHYSkcdvD" style="border: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="109" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Garvey's father has always wanted Garvey to be athletic, but Garvey is interested in astronomy, science fiction, reading—anything but sports. Feeling like a failure, he comforts himself with food. Garvey is kind, funny, smart, a loyal friend, and he is also overweight, teased by bullies, and lonely. When his only friend encourages him to join the school chorus, Garvey's life changes. The chorus finds a new soloist in Garvey, and through chorus, Garvey finds a way to accept himself, and a way to finally reach his distant father—by speaking the language of music instead of the language of sports. </span></p><br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><h1 dir="ltr" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PTG Corner</span></h1><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><h2 dir="ltr" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Virtual Color Blast Fun Run/Walk</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.runreg.com/color-blast&source=gmail&ust=1619293245263000&usg=AFQjCNGuou4Cxu0K0XQG3unxBnD74be6iA" href="https://www.runreg.com/color-blast" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">CLICK HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to register. </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://vimeo.com/529021580&source=gmail&ust=1619293245263000&usg=AFQjCNG4qFgBQdzJQ85NYgdAK4rmsLu8WA" href="https://vimeo.com/529021580" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">COLOR BLAST PROMO VIDEO</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for more details.</span></p><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All registrations come with a Color Packet.

Loosely based on Khalid Birdsong’s real experiences, Livin’ In Japan Still Ain’t Easy, collects all the strips from the final two years of the popular webcomic. Join in the adventure and discover how differences in race, culture, and identity in Japan can make life challenging but also hilarious!</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><h1 dir="ltr" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PTG Corner</span></h1><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><h2 dir="ltr" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Virtual Color Blast Fun Run/Walk</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.runreg.com/color-blast&source=gmail&ust=1618688751699000&usg=AFQjCNEqtGH3GNEQ234iABLCMG8Ai4DVkQ" href="https://www.runreg.com/color-blast" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">CLICK HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to register. </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://vimeo.com/529021580&source=gmail&ust=1618688751699000&usg=AFQjCNGIps1CbHACLHtj-EZZrgQisnDKOQ" href="https://vimeo.com/529021580" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">COLOR BLAST PROMO VIDEO</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for more details.</span></p><br style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All registrations come with a Color Packet.

Told in the funny, irreverent style readers have come to expect from Percy. Enhanced with vibrant artwork by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco, this story collection will become the new must-have classic for Rick Riordan's legions of devoted fans--and for anyone who needs a hero. So get your flaming spear. Put on your lion skin cape. Polish your shield and make sure you've got arrows in your quiver. We're going back about four thousand years to decapitate monsters, save some kingdoms, shoot a few gods in the butt, raid the Underworld, and steal loot from evil people. Then, for dessert, we'll die painful tragic deaths. Ready? Sweet. Let's do this. </span></p><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jeopardy champion and guest host Ken Jennings has written the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Junior Genius Guide to Greek Mythology</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="118"></col><col width="506"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 157px; overflow: hidden; width: 104px;"><img height="157" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/nYqJPrMnm1Pt97ghCIAMfo5GI0FiCsDU_bXCMSQN6I3rnzSsYeABmsidJd6AvY-O5K5Zl8yYOV_-2pAfT7aBZp5EfZkf0RhxvHksn49r6OT1MDawsdI4QVXGsAuI9NEDbyn2W3LS" style="border: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="104" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-size: 13px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Unleash your inner genius and become a master of mythology with this interactive trivia book from Jeopardy! champ and New York Times bestselling author Ken Jennings.With this “Junior Genius Guide to Greek Mythology,” you’ll become an expert and wow your friends and teachers with all the best ancient stories: how Prometheus outsmarted the gods, how Achilles’s heel led to his death, and how we mere mortals always seem to get mixed up in so many misadventures.

Its remarkable characters include: Robert Segee, the fifteen-year-old circus roustabout and known pyromaniac; and the Cook children, Donald, Eleanor, and Edward, who were in the audience when the circus tent caught fire. Guiding readers through the investigations of the mysteries that make this moment in history so fascinating, this book asks: Was the unidentified body of a little girl nicknamed “Little Miss 1565” Eleanor Cook? Was the fire itself an act of arson—and did Robert Segee set it? “Big Top Burning” combines a gripping disaster story, an ongoing detective and forensics saga, and World War II–era American history, inviting middle-grade readers to take part in a critical evaluation of the evidence and draw their own conclusions.</span></p><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Agatha Christie is known for her famous mysteries and a favorite of ours is </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And Then There Were None.</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="118"></col><col width="506"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 168px; overflow: hidden; width: 104px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="168" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/6DJPohI6_jMBHl_VWK40SLL7mR5LVT3lGxCPfGRNAVxkTytOLHSuMiuIOWO_yOSMsdnTmhi053loJtTi_XrCwAxHCRwbTaLOHvso55uhON6g3igHLp_CEvI6sYlmyNWdg69CELyw" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="104" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ten strangers are lured to an isolated island mansion off the Devon coast by a mysterious "U.

With all the freedom their pre-college summer program provides and no one on their tail, the only mystery they need to solve, once and for all, is what they are to each other. But upon their arrival at Oxford, Charlotte is immediately drawn into a new case: a series of accidents befell the theater program at Oxford last year, culminating in a young woman going missing on the night of a major performance. The mystery has gone unsolved; the case is cold. And no one—least of all the girl’s peculiar, close-knit group of friends—is talking. When Watson and Holmes join the theater program, the “accidents” start anew, giving them no choice but to throw themselves into the case. But as the complicated lines of friendship, love, and loyalty blur, time is running out—and tragedy waits in the wings.</span></p><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We also discussed </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All Fall Down</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Ally Carter. </span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="128"></col><col width="496"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 173px; overflow: hidden; width: 114px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="173" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/mPycw3KWUgX2pXLKSXMlUEqh_Jd3VaQRZcMnN2AH4ZRSkgnwcFaHPR93F6ZrkURWja25EPCUpNIEHlu_Yjm8sdwYZQOW9zFe3Yr86p-6Sf7ZEvzsxZBLIqP2LNwqi0jlZ4CMqfb2" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="114" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Grace Blakely is absolutely certain of three things: 1. She is not crazy. 2. Her mother was murdered. 3. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay. As certain as Grace is about these facts, nobody else believes her -- so there's no one she can completely trust. Not her grandfather, a powerful ambassador. Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row. Not Alexei, the Russian boy next door, who is keeping his eye on Grace for reasons she neither likes nor understands. Everybody wants Grace to put on a pretty dress and a pretty smile, blocking out all her unpretty thoughts. But they can't control Grace -- no more than Grace can control what she knows or what she needs to do. Her past has come back to haunt her . . . and if she doesn't stop it, Grace isn't the only one who will get hurt. Because on Embassy Row, the countries of the world stand like dominoes, and one wrong move can make them all fall down.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Are you interested in trying to write your own novel?

So when some of the beasts mysteriously die, Elin's mother is sentenced to death as punishment. With her last breath she manages to send her daughter to safety. Alone, far from home, Elin soon discovers that she can talk to both the terrifying water serpents and the majestic flying beasts that guard her queen. This skill gives her great powers, but it also involves her in deadly plots that could cost her life. Can she save herself and prevent her beloved beasts from being used as tools of war?

Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in her path, Adunni never loses sight of her goal of escaping the life of poverty she was born into so that she can build the future she chooses for herself – and help other girls like her do the same. Her spirited determination to find joy and hope in even the most difficult circumstances imaginable will “break your heart and then put it back together again” (Jenna Bush Hager on The Today Show) even as Adunni shows us how one courageous young girl can inspire us all to reach for our dreams…and maybe even change the world.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ancestor Approved</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">is edited by award-winning and bestselling author Cynthia Leitich Smith, and is a collection of intersecting stories by both new and veteran Native writers that bursts with hope, joy, resilience, the strength of community, and Native pride.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="124"></col><col width="500"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 165px; overflow: hidden; width: 110px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="165" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/zxHzBw9DdesmSo9H9QUzWXDZ7aHlTlxKn5B2mTo1NB1nL4djIFnR4vB-9xSGmlCTwJP9B3r0e64OZZSInTvDzGqeRqiJ4pCoig72FE2y9pNuu_6Jofz433DCTbn7YJfIFgkXw0mk" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="110" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Native families from Nations across the continent gather at the Dance for Mother Earth Powwow in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

What he doesn’t have is a happy home life. Forced to protect his brother from an abusive father and a neglectful mother, Jace lives a double life on the wrong side of the tracks, learning to box and trying to survive on his own merits while plotting to expose his father as the monster he is. Working reluctantly with two girls who have their own thoughts of vengeance, Jace finds that he is not as alone as he thought and that there are people he can trust.

Collin can't help himself―he has a unique condition that finds him counting every letter spoken to him. It's a quirk that makes him a prime target for bullies, and a continual frustration to the adults around him, including his father. When Collin asked to leave yet another school, his dad decides to send him to live in Minnesota with the mother he's never met. She is Ojibwe, and lives on a reservation. Collin arrives in Duluth with his loyal dog, Seven, and quickly finds his mom and his new home to be warm, welcoming, and accepting of his condition. Collin’s quirk is matched by that of his neighbor, Orenda, a girl who lives mostly in her treehouse and believes she is turning into a butterfly. With Orenda’s help, Collin works hard to overcome his challenges. His real test comes when he must step up for his new friend and trust his new family.</span></p><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><h1 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PTG Corner</span></h1><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Virtual Color Blast Fun Run/Walk</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">REGISTRATION IS OPEN! </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.runreg.com/color-blast&source=gmail&ust=1616268852572000&usg=AFQjCNENgrF8rebsJEGW9PeamN-p16ag4g" href="https://www.runreg.com/color-blast" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #d9d9d9; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">CLICK HERE</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to register.

I sincerely hope that this is our new normal as we head to the end of the school year. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I also want to let you know that on Monday, March 15th, our school schedule will pivot fully to an alternating block schedule. While most of our Pods already switched their schedules back to blocks this week, our classes that are outside the Pod (Integrated Arts, World Language, Academic Support and Resource) will now also have blocks. There is more information provided below in our new news section. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";

It feels a bit like another “first day of school” but we are fortunate to have had the last few Fridays to prepare for this phase with hybrid students. I have included next week’s schedule below for your reference. Pod teachers will communicate class schedules with students so that they know when to be prepared for each subject. Our school time schedule will stay the same next week and students will still see their integrated arts, academic support, resource and world language teachers each day. </span></p><br /><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 258px; overflow: hidden; width: 492px;"><img class="CToWUd a6T" height="258" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/OkIPzta-t6CesvhWmwad1m7-M01ULfnZWs6bRyL2cubwvUwti6V_9iaJRWSydu9SwKerjoZcHhQe_Jo3HSYhjRIbxSZIBJr54Q8bpL6WCXYWs1fzSvuu0IBLK5Lp-HHw5xh0aKCZ" style="cursor: pointer; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline: 0px;" tabindex="0" width="492" /></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On Monday, March 15, our school schedule will pivot to a block schedule and students will rotate through these courses depending on whether it is a silver or red day.

Palicio is known for her book “Wonder.” In the “White Bird” graphic novel, she offers a backstory. In R. J. Palacio's bestselling collection of stories Auggie & Me, which expands on characters in “Wonder”, readers were introduced to Julian's grandmother, Grandmère. Here, Palacio makes her graphic novel debut with Grandmère's heartrending story: how she, a young Jewish girl, was hidden by a family in a Nazi-occupied French village during World War II; how the boy she and her classmates once shunned became her savior and best friend. Sara's harrowing experience movingly demonstrates the power of kindness to change hearts, build bridges, and even save lives. As Grandmère tells Julian, "It always takes courage to be kind, but in those days, such kindness could cost you everything." With poignant symbolism and gorgeous artwork that brings Sara's story out of the past and cements it firmly in this moment in history, “White Bird” is sure to captivate anyone who was moved by the book “Wonder” or the blockbuster movie adaptation and its message.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Emily H. of 7 East loves the graphic novel </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Witch Boy </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">by Molly Knox Ostertag.

In thirteen-year-old Aster's family, all the girls are raised to be witches, while boys grow up to be shapeshifters. Anyone who dares cross those lines is exiled. Unfortunately for Aster, he still hasn't shifted . . . and he's still fascinated by witchery, no matter how forbidden it might be.When a mysterious danger threatens the other boys, Aster knows he can help -- as a witch. It will take the encouragement of a new friend, the non-magical and non-conforming Charlie, to convince Aster to try practicing his skills. And it will require even more courage to save his family . . . and be truly himself.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Aidan of 8 East continues to read </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Attack on Titan</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Hajime Isayama, a graphic novel series.</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="123"></col><col width="501"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 164px; overflow: hidden; width: 109px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="164" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/vQy9fJiO8-g_qmhxv_dhnMvpc9PzO9r8uuof_YsjvIVHsaNA91OdzNrbxZhKkRsLEDMHb1n65lRG9HYP_WcwRgg0EWTAyoJs4yM_UBrgEQpI-nd8c5v-pfSQSbNSTuON6_JCID84" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="109" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Humanity has been devastated by the bizarre, giant humanoids known as the Titans. Little is known about where they came from or why they are bent on consuming humanity. Seemingly unintelligent, they have roamed the world killing off humankind for years. For the past century, what's left of mankind has hidden in a giant, three-walled city. People believe their 100-meter-high walls will protect them from the Titans, which are 10 to 20 meters tall.

As you are aware, the state of New Hampshire has seen increased positive COVID-19 cases. As a result we have had more students who have been required to quarantine and are unable to attend school in person. To support these students, our K-8 schools will offer synchronous opportunities for students to connect with their teachers. For some, this will be in the form of concurrent learning.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Concurrent learning occurs when students who are receiving instruction in the classroom are joined by their peers who are in a virtual setting. This is more difficult for the teacher to navigate; however, they have been offered training opportunities in order to assist quarantined students who would otherwise not have direct access to their teachers while at home.

In Rosario, Argentina, Camila Hassan lives a double life. At home, she is a careful daughter, living within her mother’s narrow expectations, in her rising-soccer-star brother’s shadow, and under the abusive rule of her short-tempered father. On the field, she is La Furia, a powerhouse of skill and talent. When her team qualifies for the South American tournament, Camila gets the chance to see just how far those talents can take her. In her wildest dreams, she’d get an athletic scholarship to a North American university. But the path ahead isn’t easy. Her parents don’t know about her passion. They wouldn’t allow a girl to play fútbol—and she needs their permission to go any farther. And the boy she once loved is back in town. Since he left, Diego has become an international star, playing in Italy for the renowned team Juventus. Camila doesn’t have time to be distracted by her feelings for him. Things aren’t the same as when he left: she has her own passions and ambitions now, and La Furia cannot be denied. As her life becomes more complicated, Camila is forced to face her secrets and make her way in a world with no place for the dreams and ambition of a girl like her. Filled with authentic details and the textures of day-to-day life in Argentina, heart-soaring romance, and breathless action on the pitch, Furia is the story of a girl’s journey to make her life her own.</span></p><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Maybe you want to travel to Thailand?

A boy on the run. A girl determined to find him. A compelling fantasy looks at issues of privilege, protest, and justice. All light in Chattana is created by one man — the Governor, who appeared after the Great Fire to bring peace and order to the city. For Pong, who was born in Namwon Prison, the magical lights represent freedom, and he dreams of the day he will be able to walk among them. But when Pong escapes from prison, he realizes that the world outside is no fairer than the one behind bars. The wealthy dine and dance under bright orb light, while the poor toil away in darkness. Worst of all, Pong’s prison tattoo marks him as a fugitive who can never be truly free. Nok, the prison warden’s perfect daughter, is bent on tracking Pong down and restoring her family’s good name. But as Nok hunts Pong through the alleys and canals of Chattana, she uncovers secrets that make her question the truths she has always held dear. Set in a Thai-inspired fantasy world, Christina Soontornvat’s twist on Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables is a dazzling, fast-paced adventure that explores the difference between law and justice — and asks whether one child can shine a light in the dark.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are interested in meeting other students who love to read and learning about new Young Adult books and authors, join us for the drop in club Booked for Breakfast.

white-space: pre-wrap;">Today marks the first day since March 13, 2020 that we have had (almost) all of our students in the building. Planning for this school year and reopening has involved many moving parts working together toward a common goal. I want to thank all Lurgio families for the flexibility during this time. Adapting to new schedules, including drop-off and pick-up plans, isn’t always easy. I want to thank you for helping your student to develop healthy routines for both in-school and distance learning days. Our families who have chosen a remote modality are also supporting their students academically, socially, and emotionally during a time when in-person instruction may not be an option for them.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lurgio students have truly risen to the challenge by jumping on board with our mitigation strategies on a daily basis. I know that middle schoolers may not enjoy wearing a mask all day, sitting at assigned tables at lunch, or trying to socially distance themselves from peers in the hallways. However, our students try their hardest to keep themselves and each other safe at school by adhering to these protocols each day. </span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I also want to extend my gratitude to our teachers, paraprofessionals, and school staff members who have worked tirelessly to reorganize classroom furniture, curricular plans, and even dining hall procedures. I have seen shining examples of what true teamwork looks like over the past year, but in particular during these last few weeks in preparation for this change in the school calendar. I am proud to work side by side with these educators as we work to give students the best possible middle school experience--even in times of adversity.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;

As you are aware, the state of New Hampshire has seen increased positive COVID-19 cases. As a result we have had more students who have been required to quarantine and are unable to attend school in person. To support these students, our K-8 schools will offer synchronous opportunities for students to connect with their teachers. For some, this will be in the form of concurrent learning.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Concurrent learning occurs when students who are receiving instruction in the classroom are joined by their peers who are in a virtual setting. This is more difficult for the teacher to navigate; however, they have been offered training opportunities in order to assist quarantined students who would otherwise not have direct access to their teachers while at home.

As you are aware, the state of New Hampshire has seen increased positive COVID-19 cases. As a result we have had more students who have been required to quarantine and are unable to attend school in person. To support these students, our K-8 schools will offer synchronous opportunities for students to connect with their teachers. For some, this will be in the form of concurrent learning.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Concurrent learning occurs when students who are receiving instruction in the classroom are joined by their peers who are in a virtual setting. This is more difficult for the teacher to navigate; however, they have been offered training opportunities in order to assist quarantined students who would otherwise not have direct access to their teachers while at home.

How can we find relief? Author Whitney Stewart introduces readers to the practice of mindfulness. With its roots in ancient Buddhist teachings, mindfulness―the practice of purposefully focusing attention on the present moment―can change a person's approach to stress, develop skills to handle anxiety and depression, and provide a sense of awareness and belonging. Stewart guides readers through how to get started with meditation as well as provides specific exercises for examining emotions, managing stress, checking social media habits and wellness routines, and setting intentions to increase happiness.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gary Paulsen has a new book called </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gone to the Woods</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and it is a memoir. </span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="118"></col><col width="506"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 163px; overflow: hidden; width: 104px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="163" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/TmW88oSkwYMK3vQnUivA7IvAo0L_EZ0NXV3NGeyIOxAc2n7uBZE0NxUiRfFc4dVVANTFXAdflzotX8MpJWly0wR698MRFoT7bVGJkGYHj8LFt0ebtgOdv3CvfJNOt8iZBxfF4GvG" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="104" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">His name is synonymous with high-stakes wilderness survival stories. Now, beloved author Gary Paulsen portrays a series of life-altering moments from his turbulent childhood as his own original survival story. If not for his summer escape from a shockingly neglectful Chicago upbringing to a North Woods homestead at age five, there never would have been a Hatchet. Without the encouragement of the librarian who handed him his first book at age thirteen, he may never have become a reader. And without his desperate teenage enlistment in the Army, he would not have discovered his true calling as a storyteller. A moving and enthralling story of grit and growing up, Gone to the Woods is perfect for newcomers to the voice and lifelong fans alike, from the acclaimed author at his rawest and realest.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gary Schmidt has a new book called </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just Like That</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="118"></col><col width="506"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 156px; overflow: hidden; width: 104px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="156" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2jvCEfquo9SMZSicPoapePIVILO6dFB-X9U4UQdnuE24h1hNDxuFqRbLAjxfHBtB6geVOFJaS7NVxhTqZISqWZdb2i2JNEYSIUwO4aDj7aaR18ZUtPH2gbCdHWMfosdhG-5CGMhC" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="104" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In this poignant, perceptive, witty novel, Gary D. Schmidt brings authenticity and emotion to multiple plot strands, weaving in themes of grief, loss, redemption, achievement, and love. Following the death of her closest friend in summer 1968, Meryl Lee Kowalski goes off to St. Elene's Preparatory Academy for Girls, where she struggles to navigate the venerable boarding school's traditions and a social structure heavily weighted toward students from wealthy backgrounds. In a parallel story, Matt Coffin has wound up on the Maine coast near St. Elene's with a pillowcase full of money lifted from the leader of a criminal gang, fearing the gang's relentless, destructive pursuit. Both young people gradually dispel their loneliness, finding a way to be hopeful and also finding each other.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Alan Gratz has a new novel called </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ground Zero</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="118"></col><col width="506"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 157px; overflow: hidden; width: 104px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="157" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/KOtAZi6xVClwf2jJguyYZnstU2e6lBRKXg4ds4bbUuSMexmGQyEeLF1w07YqIwL6EbBcIzJxR1Pvi-oT_XejMbmJXFnHRzINWkcatFrmP2I1yA6GSRmUlvfZNYld8yCyVW-tExcR" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="104" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In time for the twentieth anniversary of 9/11, master storyteller Alan Gratz (Refugee) delivers a pulse-pounding and unforgettable take on history and hope, revenge and fear -- and the stunning links between the past and present.

As you are aware, the state of New Hampshire has seen increased positive COVID-19 cases. As a result we have had more students who have been required to quarantine and are unable to attend school in person. To support these students, our K-8 schools will offer synchronous opportunities for students to connect with their teachers. For some, this will be in the form of concurrent learning.</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Concurrent learning occurs when students who are receiving instruction in the classroom are joined by their peers who are in a virtual setting. This is more difficult for the teacher to navigate; however, they have been offered training opportunities in order to assist quarantined students who would otherwise not have direct access to their teachers while at home.

Here's the deal I offer America: I'll help all of you if you all help me!"</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When Audrey Met Alice</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Rebecca Behrens is based on the real diaries of Alice Rooselvelt interwoven with the fictional character First Daughter Audrey Rhodes:</span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="118"></col><col width="506"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 156px; overflow: hidden; width: 104px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="156" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/O5Dp_r7Gj5QcgKQeqKq7ptNTnwdJFmvjQJDwBXLPOV3DFCldpEg3uNlpO8XFtJXwQmJ8Zwhkoes-XsFf7UDYn8YaKt1BIrqD-Bm-JiY_rBGHWLQ0NiRm9r2B1_KLVoHJ7us1CKRW" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="104" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Living in the White House is like being permanently grounded. Only with better security. First Daughter Audrey Rhodes can't wait for the party she has planned. The decorations are all set and the pizza is on its way. But the Secret Service must be out to ruin her life, because they cancel at the last minute, squashing Audrey's chances for making any new friends. What good is having your own bowling alley if you don't have anyone to play with? Audrey is ready to give up and spend the next four years totally friendless―until she discovers Alice Roosevelt's hidden diary. The former First Daughter's outrageous antics give Audrey a ton of ideas for having fun...and get her into more trouble than she can handle.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;" /><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Check out Lauren Baratz-Logsted's </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Red Girl, Blue Boy</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">: </span></p><div align="left" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large; margin-left: 0pt;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><colgroup><col width="118"></col><col width="506"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height: 0pt;"><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 156px; overflow: hidden; width: 104px;"><img class="CToWUd" height="156" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/tApidGcqUuh3bG1FKdldBomiwtSli83zTBnxZ9B4iLP8Ipr91tkQtvdRvB066R-Iw2EIBKns-K9bm7JW2fbr_z7EqpmHDS3n_6LNdqFAiMRf-b6rmh_joP7D3AENs6mNr-xtt__w" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="104" /></span></span></p></td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 1pt; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5pt; vertical-align: top;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Opposites attract! Sixteen-year-olds Katie and Drew really shouldn't get along. After all, her father is the Republican nominee for President of the United States while his mother is at the top of the Democratic ticket. But when Katie and Drew are thrown together in a joint interview on a morning talk show, they can't ignore the chemistry between them. With an entire nation tuned into and taking sides in your parents' fight, and the knowledge that--ultimately--someone has to lose, how can you fall in love with the one person you're supposed to hate?</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;" /><h1 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PTG Corner</span></h1><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;" /><h2 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Principal Winter Reading Night</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">NEW DATE!
