September Contest – Book in a Jar

Stop by the library and take a close look at the Book in a Jar.  Can you figure out what book it is?  Winners and prizes will be announced Sept. 27th.  Bring your ipad to record your guess!

Featured Book of the Week

Fifty-Four Things Wrong with Gwendolyn Rogers is a book about a middle school girl who feels different from her classmates.  When she reads a confidential school report about herself, she is even more confused about herself. Could there really be 54 things wrong about her?  Read this book to follow Gwendolyn’s pursuit for clarity about her mental health.

GARDEN CLUB

The Summit Middle School Garden Club has a mission of making a difference in our community while providing students the opportunity to connect, have fun, and learn gardening skills!  So far this gardening season, we have provided over 430 pounds of produce to the Johnston Partnership and our garden is not done yet!

Students get to experience all layers of gardening from bed prepping, weeding, watering, harvesting, etc. In the winter months we have done donation drives for the Partnership, started seeds and planned our garden for spring, and celebrated teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week– we stay busy all year long!

We meet Thursdays from 2:50-3:30 in Mission Room 129. All 6th and 7th graders are welcome, and no gardening experience is necessary!  Come with shoes and clothes that can get dirty.

Questions?!  Please contact Allison Barlow via ParentSquare or at allison.barlow@johnston.k12.ia.us.
