SCA Library - Annual Scholastic Book Fair

November was a busy month at the SCA library.  We hosted our annual Scholastic Book Fair and met with much success once again!  Although we did not raise enough for our Vice Principal to participate in our crazy stunt/challenge we did raise over $1600 - enough to get $755.00 worth of book in our library!  The books arrived last week - watch for a list of titles and reviews to come soon! Thank you to all students and staff who helped and purchased books, school tools, posters, anti-bullying bracelets and more from the fair.  A special thank you to the book fair crew who helped with set up, posters, cash, contests and more!

CCRSB Teen Reader's Choice Award

Don't forget about the CCRSB Teen Reader's Choice Award announced via our SCA Live morning announcements  Interested students in grades 7-12 are invited to nominate their favorite book for the award.    Nominations must be in by December 16th.  All nominations will be considered to create a shortlist of ten books.  The ten books chosen will be made available at each participating CCRSB library.   Teens are encouraged to read these top ten books when they are chosen and discuss them with their peers in school and via an online forum.  After students have a chance to read and discuss these books, students can vote on their choice from the top ten books.  All voters will be invited to an awards ceremony where the winning book will be announced.   Here is your chance to check out what others are reading, celebrate a love of reading, and see if your favorite book is up for the challenge!
