STUDENT NOMINEES- Each year, California 7th and 8th grade students nominate and vote for their favorite books for the California Young Reader Medal or CYRM.  This year’s nominees were Hold Fast which is about a girl trying to find her missing father while struggling to keep her family together in a homeless shelter; Keeper of the Lost Cities a fantasy story of 12-year-old Sophie who is a telepath from another world; and Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere which is a story of survival, set during the time of Hurricane Katrina. And the WINNER IS Keeper of the Lost Cities!  Be sure to check out these excellent books, and more, from your SV Library.GLOWING GALAXY – Come join us for our last dance of the year, the “Glowing Galaxy” blacklight dance on Friday, May 12th from 2:30-4:30 p.m. in the MPR. We will be having “out of this world” decorations, cool lights, and fog machines. We will also be selling Krispy Kreme Donuts and snacks at the dance! We will begin selling tickets on Monday, May 8th starting at $5 through Today. Wednesday and Thursday tickets will be $8, and Friday they will be $10. Remember to bring your ID card with you when you purchase a ticket. If you are a Party Pack member, you do not need to purchase a ticket, just show up for the dance! Please remember that students CANNOT leave the dance early due to safety reasons. We encourage wearing white or neon colors because those colors will glow in the black lights!
