Library Happenings

As the school year is coming to a close, I would like to take the time to encourage you all to enroll students of all ages in the Summer Reading Program (SRP) at Skidompha library. It is important for students to continue reading throughout the summer. If they are going to be reading, they may as well help support CHIP, and receive incentives for themselves.  Students that sign up will also have the opportunity to participate in weekly activities at Skidompha as well. If students are participating in the SRP, they can keep their timesheet and submit it to me when they return to school and they will be able to participate in a summer reading celebration here at school.
Happy Reading,
Mrs. Greenleaf

2016 Summer Reading Celebration Slideshow

Authors Visit

Local author, Kate Kastelein, came in on June 9th to read her book, "Blankie's Diary and to work with students in Mr. Roy's 4th grade classroom on a writers workshop. She shared the process that she went through as she wrote the book and collaborated with the illustrator. Students had lots of questions and received feedback on the books that they were writing as well.

Battle of the Books Returns to GSB!

We had one team of 6 students participate in the Battle of the Books on March 23rd at Lincoln Academy.  There were 8 teams in all that competed. Students at the schools within AOS93 read 4 books and submitted questions from each of the books to be used during the competition. Nobleboro's team, The Professors,  took first place with 55 points, while GSB's team, The Fletchees, came in second wth 46 points. GSB's team took prizes for best costumes! They dressed up as alternate versions of the family in the book, "The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher". Following the competition, students enjoyed a lunch of pizza, chips and bottled water. Pizza was donated by The Penalty Box and Hilltop Stop in Damariscotta and The Publick House in Newcastle. With this years team graduating we hope to have a new team or teams for next year!

Chickadee Nominations

And the winner is.... Land Shark! Students voted all across Maine and the opinion remained the same. It was a close match between Land Shark, Hippos are Huge! and Mother Bruce. Follow the link to the Chickadee page on our website links page.  We have received the list for next year and look forward to the voting process again.
