Library News
It was so good to see everyone in their new classes, coming to the library over the past week. Library is a place that we hope students will feel confident to borrow books that are for their pleasure reading. It is a time for them to find books that they will enjoy reading at home.
We expect that all students will borrow and read their books each week. Some students were loaned a library bag this week. It would be appreciated if these bags could be returned to the library during their next library session. You can use any bag as a library bag – a plastic shopping bag, a pillowcase, any type of bag that will protect the books from squashy sandwiches, from drinks and bananas in your student’s bags.
I am looking forward to many discussions about books that students have read and enjoyed, or not enjoyed, and why. I love having these conversations with our students as it often guides our library book purchases.
Random Acts of Kindness Week 11th-17th February 2024
Kindness can have a positive impact on individuals and society.
Kindness can improve mental health and well-being. Research has shown that performing acts of kindness can have a positive impact on mental health. By performing acts of kindness, one can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
Communities can grow when connections are created and strengthened through kindness. People have a stronger sense of belonging and social cohesion when they are connected through kindness.
We know that every small act of kindness can have a ripple effect, inspiring others to be kind.
Doing random acts of kindness creates a sense of belonging. It can help people feel more connected to their community and promote a sense of belonging.
Every act of kindness has the potential to inspire positive change in the world.

Book Club
The Scholastic Book Club is back for 2024 and you should have received a copy of the catalogue last week. We will be doing Book Club once each term and I hope that you might be able to support your child’s reading by purchasing a book or two. The school earns reward dollars which we use to further enhance our library resources.
The Book Club orders close at 9:00am on Monday February 12th. Please use the online LOOP ordering system as detailed on the order form in the catalogue. I am hoping that we can get the books to you a couple of weeks after the closing date. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
