THIS MONTH AT A GLANCE
Masked Reader
This month, Behlau staff make summer book recommendations for our students to reading during summer.
To participate, students and teachers need to watch morning announcements daily to listen to clues as to who the Masked reader is. The readers will be revealed each Friday during the month of May.
If there is a book you would like to read, we challenge you to add it to your summer reading list.
Book Return Promotion
It's the end of the school year and your help is needed to promote the book return challenge. It would be totally awesome if we could have ALL our library books back on the shelves before summer begins. Check the hallway bulletin board and our Google Slides daily to see if your class is in the lead. The first class (including teachers) per grade level to turn in ALL their books will win popsicles for their class.
Contest begins May 15th!
