Book Club Grant

Dear Wakefield PTA,

Once again we would like to thank you for your generous grant.  With your help, we were able to purchase books to support our book club and our guest author visits.

The money was primarily used to buy 15 copies of Sold by Patricia McCormick, which we used as a Book Club book in collaboration with Girl Up Club.   The power of student recommendation is evident  because as of today, Sold is our number one circulating book this year with 53 check-outs since December.   In addition, Social Studies Teacher Laurel Sheridan has purchased a class set of the book to use for instruction.

In collaboration with Mr. Lutz’s and Ms. Snyder’s co-taught English 11 classes, we used the remaining money to purchase two class sets of books for guest authors April Genevieve Tucholke and Randy Ribay, who were brought to Wakefield via the NOVA Teen Book Festival and One More Page Books. On March 4th, these students came down to the library to listen to these authors talk about their writing process and participate in a Q&A session.   

I have attached pictures of the March 4^th event.

Thank you again for your support.

Sincerely,

Gina Glassman & Donna Felseneheld,

Wakefield HS Librarians
