School has only been in session for 2 weeks and our students are reading like crazy! Over 400 books of all types have been checked out by students. The Hawks Media Center has also launched a new reading program called "Hawks Read Across the Curriulum". All students can keep track of at least 15 books this school year by using this program. The Georgia perfomance standards call for all middle school students to read 25 books each year. The goal is to read books from across all the Fiction and Non-fiction genres and Dewey Decimal sections. Students can start with their summer reading book. There will be rewards for every 5 books completed. We will also be using Destiny Quest, the online catalog system which allows students to look up books found in the HBMS library and sort them according to books they have read, books they are currently reading and books they want to read in the future. We will also be reveiwing books and recommedning them to each other online through Destiny Quest.
Soon Holcomb Bridge will be launching a "One Book" project, where every staff member and all students will be reading the same title. We hope parents and the community will join us!
Look for more details on the HBMS web site soon:
