News From the Library…
1. It is that time of year again when we are going to celebrate all of our Georgetown Millionaires!! If you are one of those students that is tracking and counting your words to become a Million Word Reader, it is time to turn in your sheets of books and word totals! Remember, if you have taken any Reading Counts quizzes the computer keeps track of those words so no need to write those down. Turn in your Word Count sheets by Wednesday, May 24 to Mrs. VandenBerg in the Library! There are links on the Blog that can help you in counting your words under Reading Counts.
