Hey, Greyhounds! Have you heard the news? You've got a chance to be a MILLIONAIRE!!!
Sound good?!! Maybe too good to be true? Well, you're right...I'm not gonna give you a million $'s. BUT you can give yourself the potential to earn a million dollars by participating in the Millionaire Club this summer.
Did you know that if every student enrolled in a HISD school read 5 books over the summer that would equal more than 1,000,000,000 books! That's a lot of books! I'm trying to imagine how much space it would take to house a million books. The JMS library has about 14,000 books...so we might be talking about someplace the size of the Astrodome. Wow!
Check back here for more information about what you have to do to become a Millionaire....coming soon!

What's going on?
Sorry it's been so long since I updated the blog! There's been so many cool things happening in the library that I forgot.
For starters, we've added over 1600 books to the JMS library! We've doubled the number of books in Spanish and the graphic novels. We've added e-books! You can find the link on the JMS library webpage..the User name is "Johnston" and the password is "greyhounds."
The Johnston Name that Book team won 2nd at the preliminary and DISTRICT rounds! That's quite an accomplishment. This team of 6 students collectively read over 2 million (that's right MILLION) pages and over 327 books!! Stop by the Library and see the gorgeous trophy!!
Two of the media students, Steffannie and Zoe won the American Association of School Librarians' Video Contest with their 3 minute video entitled "Think, Create, Share & Grow the JMS Way!" It was so much fun to work with these students and to see their hard work rewarded. Because of them, we'll get to add more books to the library collection and the Media class gets another FLIP camera. Check out their video on SchoolTube or at this link: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/learning4life/involvement/studentvideo.cfm
Oh, I almost forgot! Three students won books for their participation in the Library Web page "Secret Sports" object contest. Congratulations to Cameron, Tasha, and Dominique!!
