Calling all 6th - 8th graders (high school students are welcome to join in): we are in the process of planning activities just for you.
Mark your calendars and please join us on:
1. Thursday, Oct. 29 (NEXT week ----- no school that day) at 6:30 pm in the library. We'll have a (short) meeting and MOVIE NIGHT.
We'd like to hear about what kinds of programs you might be interested in (some suggestions so far include: knitting, board games, science type activities, making rubik's cubes); then,
MOVIE night ------ something for Halloween, complete with refreshments.
2. Tuesday, Nov. 10: 6:30 pm: (no school on the 11th!) A Reading Group. We are very pleased that Tom Diamond has agreed to lead a reading & discussion group, and we hope those of you who enjoy reading for pleasure will come to this initial meeting to talk about books and choose a book for the group to read. It's up to you!
