ESMS UPCOMING BOOK FAIR

ESMS UPCOMING BOOK FAIR

ESMS will be hosting a Fall Book Fair December 3-11.  “A Beautiful Monstrosity:  There’s A Story Behind Every Door” will feature the Monsters, Inc. theme.  The book fair crew would like to invite the community to come participate in our Monster Bash Family Night on December 8, 2015 from 5-7.  The Book Fair Crew is working hard to create an environment of fun for all. 

Students are currently participating in reading challenges to earn “Monster Bucks” to spend in the “Monster Market”.  In the market are prizes such as free books, food certificates donated by local business such as BobKorn and Waffle House, and items donated by the LMC.  The items have a Monster Buck amount on them so the students know how many they need to "buy" what they want.

The book fair crew is setting goals for sales, books sold and All for Books money raised.  All for Books donations will go to the Good Samaritan Center of ES to give books to needy children for the holidays.  The crew welcomes donations to help them meet this goal.  Book fair t-shirts are being sold until November 1.  Black and gold para cord bracelets are also being sold.  The profits from both will be donated to the Scholastic All for Books program.  A monster boss contest is being run from now until Thanksgiving break where 8th graders are competing by raising money for the All for Books program.  The "monster" that raises the most money gets to open the doors for our Monster Bash Family night.

The crew looks forward to serving you at our book fair!

Please consider making a donation so that we can give lots of children books for the holidays.  THANKS for your support!

Volleyball by Cassidy Bradshaw

So volleyball season is almost over and that makes me sad. I made friends on the volleyball team and I'm really close with them now. I have way more friends than I did last year. There's a game on Thursday and a tournament Saturday. Hopefully the season ends with a bang.

Volleyball by Rylee Johnson

This is the last week for volleyball, and I couldn't be more sad. Our team has worked hard to win all games, and get first place in our first tournament. We definitely earned it! I'm so glad I got to become closer with all the volleyball girls and have such a great experience with them all. Looking forward to freshman year with volleyball!

Volleyball by Madeline Evert

the volleyball season is coming to a end and I'm very sad that it has come to an end. It was an honor to be on the volleyball team for never ever playing in my life. Our last home game is Thursday at home and then we have a tournament this weekend. Our coaches and teammates are always pushing us to make us better and I'm very proud of them for doing that.

Along with the book fair, we will be having a Monster Market. You can buy things at the Monster Market with Monster Bucks that you will earn by reading books. By reading a book of 100 pages or more you can earn 10 monster bucks and by reading a Truman award nominee book you can earn 15 Monster Bucks. Visit the Learning Commons in your free time and buy things like bookmarks, coupons from restaurants, and free time in the Learning Commons. A full list of things you can buy at the Monster Market will be posted soon. Thank you for taking your time to read my Techspert blog.

Monster Bucks by Sierra Hightower

Monster bucks
For the book fair we came up with monster bucks which is like fake money. You can spend monster bucks at the monster market. I think it will be really cool for kids to be able to spend the monster bucks on prizes.
  How do you get monster bucks? You can get monster bucks by reading books more than 200 pages long. Each book gets you 10. The prizes you can buy range from gift cards to free books from the books fair.

New Friends...by Madi Cole

At the beginning of eighth grade I was worried. I only spent time with one person over the

summer, my best friend Maddie. I was afraid that I wouldn't have many friends. A couple days

before school when Maddie and I were putting stuff in our binders, I felt a little excited. Maybe

going back wouldn't be so bad and I'd make new friends.

   When I found out all of my classes, not a lot of my friends were in there. But when I started

talking to some of the other kids they were pretty cool! I was especially afraid of eighth hour.

The other two boys I was with I had never really talk too. But now we're almost a quarter

through the school year and I'm really close with those boys! It's cool to make new friends.

Class by Gracie Creason

I'm so glad that I got picked out to be in Ms. Travis' Tech applications class. I have learned so much already and were not even half way through the year. It's great because we get to help others find out more about technology too. We also get to help with the book fair and do library things. This class gives me an extra thought on how technology helps us in modern day society. We get to work with Mackey Makeys and spheros, it is really fun.

Without a doubt tech applications is my favorite class of the day, i get to see my friends work with people, and help our school with technology. It seems like a lot to get done within a hour but it is possible. I'm so excited for the rest of the year to come I can't wait to help more people and help Ms. Travis out with all the needs of the library.

Selection Series by Olivia Richey

I think that you should read the selection series. It is the best series ever. It has violence, romance, and comedy in it. It is awesome! It is about a prince that is ready to be married and it is basically a competition. In the beginning it starts with 35 girls. Read it to find out who wins.

Revived...by Madyson Harris

By: Madyson

Do you like to read? If so I have a great book recommendation for

you! Revived By Cat Patrick, is a great book that I recommend for all

teens to read!

Revived is about a girl named Daisy who has died 5 times. Daisy

has been brought back to life by a drug called Revived. Each time

when Daisy dies, they have to change the there last name and move

somewhere else, to keep the program a secret. When Daisy has to

move to a new town her life will take a drastic turn.

I recommend this book to you because it is multiple types of genres.

Romance and adventure. I find that the whole book is really exciting

and never gets boring. I have read it twice and I'm still not tired of it.

Class by Liam Greim

MY 8th HOUR CLASS

For my 8th hour I have this really class where I go into the library/learning commons, and help people with their iPad problems or help Mrs. Travis with learning commons stuff. It is a really fun class, there are only three people in it each hour. We do work like book fair ideas and other things like helping people check out books.

We normally try to work hard, but we also have some free time to do things like play with sphero. Sphero is a sphere shaped robot that you can control through your device. It is a really cool class.

Book Fair by Liam Greim

Book Fair

Coming soon this October we will have a new book fair! It is going to be really cool! The theme is Monsters inc.. We have loads of great ideas to make this book fair incredible. Read on to hear

about all of our great ideas.

First, we have the monster market, which is full of amazing prizes for anyone who can earn monster bucks. Quite a bit is undetermined, but it is in progress. Second, we have come up with a contest, where you can post a picture of yourself in a monster costume, and see who votes for you to be the monster boss of the book fair! These are only a few of the ideas we have for the book fair.

Friendly Staff by Zane Lohman

We are a lucky school to have such friendly staff at ESMS I haven't had a teacher in my middle school career that I didn't like, this makes for a shorter seeming school day, who doesn't like that? All of my teachers greet me when I come into the room, and class is always smooth sailing with nice teachers. The office people are nice, the lunch people nice and I just wanted to say thank you for always being there for all of us.
