The Bookmark Contest is Back!

I am happy to announce that we will be having another bookmark contest this year!

Get creative for a chance to win a prize and have your artwork printed and available in the library! But hurry, the contest will end February 29th.

I have been so amazed and impressed by the level of talent here at MEI!! This will be our fourth bookmark contest. There are usually so many awesome entries that the judges have a hard time picking the winners.

The Rules… maximum size: 2.5 inches by 7 inches. Must be able to be scanned. Submit as many as you would like. Make sure your name and grade are on the back!

There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes for hand drawn bookmarks and a 1st place prize for digital bookmarks. The winners for this year’s contest will be announced after spring break. Check out the previous winners…

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the Middle School’s Scholastic Book Fair. I would also like to thank the amazing student crew and parent helpers who made the book fair possible! Because of you the school raised over $1300.00 for new books and resources!

Also, a HUGE thank you to Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt in Abbotsford for your generous donation of coupons for free frozen yogurt to those who purchased a book at the fair!

Congratulations to all the contest winners! Hope you enjoyed your prizes.

The library copy of books from the fair will be on the “New” shelf soon. Check out the blog’s “New Stuff” for other books that have just been added! Book 12 of the Ranger’s Apprentice is ready, the newest Percy Jackson’s graphic novel, the latest Warriors books, and many more!
