I am so excited to get our middle schoolers excited about personal growth books! This section was just set up today and is already almost empty. Personal growth books are designed to help our kids develop a growth mindset, understand themselves, improve relationships, build character, and have the tools they need to navigate the challenging circumstances they face in middle school. Yay for personal growth at WOMS!

White Oak Middle School wants to give a big shout out to Western Weatherseal for their generous donation to the library! Students were able to vote for books they would like added to our collection, and those votes were used to select 33 new high-interest titles! We are exceedingly grateful Maria Yosten chose to partner with the library to support literacy and fuel our kids’ passions for reading.

WOMS book club is in full swing! 36 students have joined me in the Think Lab during lunch to read and discuss “Hoot” by Carl Hiaasen.  This Newberry honor is a hilarious book with powerful topics like activism and bullying. The spectacular group of students participating and the tasty treats are the highlight of my week!
