NaNoWriMo!

I think I'm in love... with National Novel Writing Month, also known as NaNoWriMo! 


NaNoWriMo is an amazing project designed to help participants write a full-length novel in one month. And that month is November!


I'm signed up. I signed up the second I realized what it is. I hope that one day, my library will have a book written my me on its shelves. Even better would be a book written by a G-Star student.


Sign up!


Keep reading (and writing),

*Tune in to Comedy Central Saturday for the Rally to Restore Sanity live coverage, and keep an eye out for me, Alkobey and our wee-one Celeste!

Testing... 1, 2, 4?

Yes, that's 4 days of FCAT retakes here in our Media Center. That means there will be NO lunch passes. Sorry guys...


That is all.

Book club, bullying, cupcakes, and something fun!

Hello Readers!


We started the Book Club, and copies of King of the Screwups were snatched up like hotcakes! We only have 2 left, so if you were on the fence about joining, jump over to our side and stop by the library to sign up. We'll have a fun lunch discussion next month. Be sure to join our Facebook Group too! I posted some interesting discussion topics that I'd like to get some feedback on.


I want to let all students know that if you are getting bullied, or know of someone who is, please, talk to me. G-Star students are great - I have never seen a student getting teased here. But if you are aware of something bad going on, or know of someone who is in emotional distress, talk to me or another administrator here. If you are having trouble, take a few minutes to watch some videos from the It Gets Better Project. And remember, LIFE DOES GET BETTER!


The G-Star GSA is hosting a Rainbow Cupcake Sale this coming Monday, October 11, in honor of National Coming Out Day. Stay tuned to school announcements for details!


Mr. Meringolo forwarded me this cool little drawing site. Try it out! Send a link to your project!

Florida Teens Read books are here!

I had such a great weekend that I do have a minor case of the Monday Blues, but the intensity is offset by the fact that (almost) all of the Florida Teens Read books are in stock and ready to read!  

This morning I started reading King of the Screwups by K.L. Going. I also passed it out to a few students who finished their FCAT Diagnostic test early, and they got into it as well. It's about a rich, popular New York City kid, Liam, whose dad, tired of dealing with his "screwup" son, kicks him out. Liam goes to live with his gay glam-rocker uncle in an upstate trailer park. So far, it's funny and smart, and I'm sure it'll only get better. 

The G-Star Book Club will be reading King of the Screwups as its first selection. As soon as I have a quick consultation with my student cohort, we'll hold a kickoff meeting and get started! Stay tuned to school announcements for details.

Keep reading! 

Does anyone really read this? Even if I get no responses, I will still keep it up!

Testing, Reservations, Travel Club & Book Club

Hello all!


Monday again! This week, we have an LTM on Thursday, so don't forget!


Unfortunately, I can't give out any lunch passes now through Wednesday because we have some tests going on in here. Once these tests are out of the way, there should be much more flexibility and openings! 


Teachers, be sure to use the Reservation Request form I've sent you. I'm hoping that the form will really streamline library scheduling and be convenient for everyone!


The Travel Club has already had a meeting, but we still need more students to enroll in the trip. This spring, we're going to Spain, Portugal, France, Monaco, Morocco and Gibraltar! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so get on it now! See me or Mr. Alkobey in J-111 for more details.


Our Florida Teens Read books should be in very soon, and we'll be able to get the Book Club started. The first meeting is just a few weeks away. Stay tuned to the school announcements for more info!

Quizzes for Fun

I had another great weekend, and I'm glad to be back for a full week here. 

Miss O'Hara shared the BEM SEX ROLE INVENTORY with me, as she is discussing gender identity and role in some of her classes. It is interesting, and will yield some surprising results!  Give it a shot!

Since we're on the topic of quizzes, take a few minutes to figure out your PERSONAL DNA . Great if you are interested in psychology, even as minimally as I am.  It gives you a great visual representation of your personality.

Enjoy, and keep reading!

Short Week, Short Post

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend;  I sure did!

There will be no lunch passes for 5th Block tomorrow, September 8 or Friday, September 10.  

Also, the Media Center will be closed after school tomorrow so that I can attend the GSA meeting, as I am now the co-chair (along with Mr. Weiss)!  Please join us at 2:45 in Room J-219.
