M.S. Book Clubs a Hit!
Students at NPMS took the opportunity to join Book Clubs this spring. Twelve different titles were offered for as many as twelve students per group. Classroom teachers volunteered to lead Book Club discussions.

Seventh grade science teacher Deb Trewartha and media specialist Jeanne LaMoore organized the Book Club program, basing it on a similar program at Mankato's Dakota Meadows MS. Students signed up to be in a group, got a copy of the book to read, and met with their group approximately a month later.

Juice and granola bars, purchased with money from Boxtops for Education, were served at the discussion meetings. The multiple copies of books were purchased primarily with money from a grant given by MVEC.

Students and teachers gave positive feedback on the Book Club discussions.
