St. Agatha Library

Congratulation to the highest AR scoring students for the first trimester. The are:

Jade Quintero in 8th grade

Gabriela Garcia in 7th grade

Melissa Pena in 6th grade

The new Media Kids are doing a great job. I have high hopes for them. Listen to them on the morning announcements so they can update you on the start of Book Club for this school year. The next Book Club selection is Vanishing Acts by Phillip Margolin.

     Library "hours of operation".

     If you like, you may come to the library with a parent on Tuesdays, after school, from 3:00 to 3:30. You must be accompanied by a parent on Tuesdays as you will have already been dismissed by your teacher. Your parent cannot come on your behalf.

    If you're in middle school and stay in "after school" care, I will pick some of you up on Thursdays. I will come between 3:00 and 3:30 then I will take you back to Miss Pilar.

    Should you be a student who leaves by bus you have some options:

             1) Remain in after school care on a Thursday and arrange transportation home. Make sure if you stay you let me know so I can be sure to give you a turn.

            2) Use the the link on this site to get the St. Agatha quiz list.

            3) Choose books from Borders or Barnes and Noble.

            4) Use the Miami Dade Public Library website www.mdpls.org. Select "library catalog". You can get a pin number from the library nearest you. Use the site to order books. They can mail them to you or you can pick them up.

            5) Book Barn  @ 10597 Bird Road has an assortment of used books you might be interested in purchasing. They will also take some of your used books as partial payment on the books you buy.

   I'm looking forward to spending more time with you guys! Let's make the most of it.

The list of Accelerated Reader tests St. Agatha owns is available on the link below. Besides the St. Agatha library, you can get these books through the Miami Dade Public Library system or any retail book store such as Barnes and Noble or Books and Books. Just make sure the title and author match exactly. Make sure your copy of the book  doesn't say "abridged" or "adapted".  If you do purchase a hardcover you might consider donating it to the library when you finish reading it! Your friends might like it too.

FYI: While The Lovely Bones is on the list, it is not in our system so while you may read the book, you will not be able to take the test.
