That's a Wrap!

As a preview to our student showcase of creativity, the titles listed below represent the root of all projects. Each grade has a theme from which students may select a novel to explore. The exploration then entails making connections between the text, our theme, and previous life experiences.
If you are interested in borrowing any of the titles or looking for a few more holidays items. . . happy reading!

Sixth - Theme: Identity
The Mysterious Benedict Society (T. Stewart)
No More Dead Dogs (G. Korman)

Seventh - Theme: Taking action on our beliefs

Juvie Three (G. Korman) --> Juvenile justice or adult crime?

Eighth - Theme: Tackling societal injustices & controversial topics
