Decorate a book spine!
We are planning to line the school hallways with student-designed book spines of their favorite books! Students will have an opportunity to create these spines during library time and we will also have stacks of them at various other events. Come check out an artistic visual of our collective readers!
Laurelhurst Poetry Box!
Roar for Reading is sponsoring a poetry box – coming soon! – in the friendship rock garden (NW corner of school on Laurelhurst Pl.) Many thanks to Connie Lang, Aaron Lefitz, and David Cooke of Poetryboxes.com! We are excited to debut a curated collection of poetry and student writing.
