The Drs. Farokhi

Mr. Emmons is making good on his promise to dress as Dr. Farokhi today. Kind of funny and a little bit scary! At least it helped us raise money for refugee children. 

Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler

We were so honored to host Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler today. They were here talking about their new book The Future of Us. They were both interesting and entertaining and graciously signed books and talked to students and even watched some 8th graders' videos of book projects. Thank you so much to The Little Shop of Stories for sending them to us. We are hoping to also see some of their Galloway photos on Jay Asher's blog tonight.

Take a look at our 9th grade ORBlog. It's full of the books that our 9th graders recommend for others to read as their ORBs (Outside Reading Books).
