Principal's Book Club

The Principal's Book Club provides an opportunity for everyone in the school to experience the same wonderful book by a featured author each month. The books and authors are chosen by the principal, Mrs. Cyr. The books are selected for a variety of reasons. Some are humorous. Some have great illustrations. Some offer insights into other cultures. All of them have good messages that help children learn important lessons about life.

Each month Mrs. Cyr reads the book selections to each class. She shares interesting facts about the book, the author, and tells the students about other books the author has written. Then, she gives the books to the library so students can check out the books and read them on their own.
