Student Book Recommendation of the Month
We continue our student reading initiative where we will be sending a student book recommendation to every elementary school media center each month. Students are encouraged to email Superintendent Mike Poore and pitch him their book suggestion. A photo like the one above will be displayed in a visible area in the media center to help get our students develop a love for reading.
Teachers and parents, help get your students excited about the possibility of having their picture and book recommendation featured in their schools' media center for an entire month! Additionally, the selected student's recommendation will also be prominently featured at the Hillary Clinton Children's Library.
This month's book recommendation, "The War That Saved My Life", is by 4th grade Roberts Elementary student Zoey Brock. In the video below, Zoey explains in her own words what she loves about "The War That Saved My Life" and what got her interested in this New York Times Best Seller, historical fiction book.
Watch the video below to hear more from Zoey about her recommendation:
