The tributes are Dasha, Chris B., Alec E., Davina, Robbie K., Wesley, Ethan M., Will H., Luke M., Elie, and Gus. Tributes will be interviewed Monday, Nov. 17 and The Hunger Games will take place on Thursday, Nov. 20 at 11:40 a.m. in the courtyard. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Halloween Happenings

Halloween was a big day in the Galloway Library. It started with a poetry reading sponsored by the Creative Writing Club. As always, we heard some thought-provoking poems, some written by our own students. The highlight for me was Mr. Gerl's performance of "What Do I Make?"




At lunch we took the library to the ML Commons and checked out books from there. Thanks to John and Cameron, UL students, who helped us out.


And finally, we hosted author Adam Gidwitz, who spoke to our 4th-6th graders. We have many fans of A Tale Dark and Grimm. What a great storyteller! Thank you so much to The Little Shop of Stories for sending him our way.
