The vivacious spirit of our devoted school community created a busy and productive academic year in our library.
We had wonderful programs galore! There were Morning Homeroom and Lunchtime Library Open Access periods which were attended by hundreds of students from all three academies. Classes came to conduct research on subjects across the curriculum, learned how to evaluate websites and use information in an ethical manner, and prepared for various competitions, such as The Ezra Jack Keats Bookmaking Contest. A festive "Poem In Your Pocket Day" was enjoyed by all, and, in May, Elly Berkovits Gross, a survivor of Auschwitz, came to speak with our sixth grade honors classes about her experiences during The Holocaust.
During the long, hot summer months, a host of activities are offered by the neighborhood public library, such as movies, summer reading clubs, and craft programs. Visit The Queens Public Library website www.queenslibrary.org and www.summerreading.org to guide your efforts.
It has been great working with you!
Enjoy your summer vacation!
