I had fun at our Hunger Games event last week. A fun way to celebrate the books before the movie. Thanks to those who came! Thanks to the PE Department for the use of their targets! Thanks to Ms. Furchner for her art skills in painting the cornucopia! Thanks to the public library for the ‘cross bows’ and the buttons! A special thanks to Mrs. Thomas, who is doing field work for her teacher librarian credential. She came up with great PowerPoint displays and all those tough trivia questions on both Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
