Using the resources of the School Library Media Center can be very helpful in achieving the goals and standards required for promotion to the next grade. As students of CS 06X you are required to read twenty-five books each year. You are required to read four books of the same genre or by the same author. You are required to analyze primary documents, prepare reports, cite sources and develop your critical thinking skills. It is important that you become effective users of ideas and information. The time you spend in the Library Media Center is crucial in the development of these skills. We encourage each of you to borrow books from the C.S. 06X Library Media Center. However, each student must have a completed book borrowing permission slip on file. We are located in room 304. We have a vast variety of fiction and non-fiction literature to choose from. We will do our part in helping you have a productive school year. We hope that you will take advantage of the many resources we have and that you develop a life-long love of reading.

Keep reading those books,

This month we had our Scholastic Book Fair. The theme was "Read White and Blue". Thank you to all our faithful readers and supporters of CS 06X. We had a very successful fair and made a profit of $906. Our first book distribution for "RIF" Reading is Fundamental will be held on December 13, 2004. We will be kicking it off with Class Karaoke. Each class will perform at a grade assembly in the auditorium. After the performance, each student will get to choose a book to take home for their enjoyment.
