Celebrating the Season
Learning about the different religious, cultural, and global holidays that happen in December and January is a great way to expand your understanding of the world and connect with others in meaningful ways. During these months, people around the world celebrate holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and the Lunar New Year, each with its own traditions and history. By learning about these holidays, you can gain a deeper appreciation for the values and beliefs that shape different cultures. It’s also a chance to see how similar celebrations can look across the globe, while also recognizing the unique ways people come together. In school and beyond, understanding these holidays can help you relate to classmates from different backgrounds, break down stereotypes, and create a more inclusive environment. Ultimately, knowing about these holidays isn’t just about recognizing traditions—it’s about building respect and connection in a diverse world.
What I'm Reading
To promote student interest in reading, the FLHS librarians have created an initiative called "What I'm Reading" to be displayed on the library bulletin. Many students enjoy hearing what their teachers and peers are reading, and even more so, eventually read those books!
To be included, please fill out the Google form to the right. Students do not need to add their pictures, but adults are encouraged! Thank you!

Francis Lewis High School Library Mission
The Francis Lewis High School Library seeks to create a 21st century environment that promotes learning for all students by providing equitable access to information, teaching information literacy skills, and encouraging lifelong learning. The library media center strives to be a center of collaborative learning that produces creative students who have an appreciation of literature, critical thinking skills, and a respect for others and self. The mission of the library is to provide students with the opportunity to become not only lifelong users of information, but also creators of information. The library will support the curriculum by collaborating with teachers, developing a collection that is representative of the community, and implementing literacy instruction for students.
