One Book, One School...
We're Taking the "Bully" By the Horns!
Last year we implemented a school-wide literacy program called One Book, One School. The entire faculty and student body read Marion Dane Bauer's On My Honor and participated in a sundry of activities pertaining to the novel's conflicts and themes.
Drum roll please...
Next year's read is The Bully, by Paul Langan. Media Specialist Sherri Alston applied for and received a $2500 Partners For Youth Grant that subsidized the literacy initiative.
 Summer Reading - Extra Credit Opportunities The Indian Land Middle School administration and faculty strive to enhance our students educational prospects. Because it is vital for us to continue to extend reading opportunities throughout the summer, we desire that our students take advantage of the extra credit opportunities we are offering. This summer we anticipate that your student will read two books from our extra credit book list and submit activity sheets for both. As incentive, each reader may receive up to two extra credit grades; the grades will be assessed in their language arts classes during the first grading period of the 2009-2010 school year. By August 28, 2009, participating students need to complete and submit the activity questions to their language arts teachers. Following, the participants' names will be submitted to the Media Specialist Sherri Alston. She will draw three students' names from the set. Those students will receive prizes! For more information, please search under the SCHOOL RESOURCES tab (left side of our e-Chalk page). Click on the link that says EXTRA CREDIT SUMMER READING BROCHURE. Rising eighth grade honors students also need to access the link entitled EXTRA CREDIT SUMMER READING LIST FOR RISING 8TH GRADE HONORS STUDENTS.
