Students and/or Parents - Did you know that with our Follett Destiny library catalog, you are able to create an online library account? It allows you to see what books you have checked out, when they are due, any fines you may owe, and more. You can even search for books and request that we hold them for you. You can receive library notifications via email, as well. Go to www.bit.ly/acsd1 for a video tutorial on how to set up your account. (It may take awhile to load or buffer -- please be patient.) Please let me know if you have any questions! ~Mrs. Seddon |

The Grant PTO is holding a family
reading night on March 2nd as a culminating activity to the
week-long Dr. Seuss celebration. Preschool
through second grade students and their families are invited to the “Read
Across America: Oh the Places You’ll Go” reading night. It will be held at the Albia Community High
School on Friday, March 2nd from 6 – 8 p.m.
During the reading event, families will
“travel” to different reading stations to read books and participate in
activities related to different locations and habitats across America. When students exit a station, they will
receive a stamp in a ‘passport.’ At the end of their ‘journey,’ they will return
to a “port of entry” and receive a special Dr. Seuss reward.
Also
featured at the reading night will be local author Sharon Burch, creator of the
Freddie the Frog® book series. Burch will conduct four sessions at the event
and will be signing and selling her books at a 30% discount price. Learn more about her and Freddie at www.freddiethefrogbooks.com. Hope to see you there! But if not, please make sure you do read to a child on March 2nd. Help send the message that reading is important! Happy Reading! ~Mrs. Seddon

Friday, Mar. 2 - Hat Day The National Education Association's (NEA) Read
Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program
that encourages readers, both young and old, to celebrate reading. Here
in the Albia community, we hope that every child will be reading with a caring
adult on March 2nd. For more information about NEA's Read Across
America, visit www.nea.org/readacross.
And remember,
You're never too old, too wacky, too
wild,
To pick up a book and read
with a child.
You're never too busy,
too cool, or too hot,
To pick up a
book and share what you've got.
In schools and communities,
Let's gather around,
Let's pick up a book,
Let's pass it around.
There are kids all around you,
Kids who will need
Someone to hug,
Someone to read.
Come join us March 2nd
Your own special way
And make this America's
Read to Kids Day |
