Congratulations to Cole Boss for being chosen as the PES Book Reviewer of the Week! The book that he gave a 5 star review for is the Graphic Novel I Survived The Shark Attacks of 1916. A massive shark has been attacking swimmers in the ocean along the Jersey Shore, not far from where Chet Roscow is staying. Fear is in the air. So when he spots a gray fin in the creek, he's sure it's his imagination running wild. It's possible he's about to come face-to-face with a killer shark... right? This book is based on the real life events of the Jersey Shore shark attacks and Cole likes this book because of the attacking sharks! We have the novel and the graphic novel available in the Media Center! Come check it out! Congratulations Cole! #PESReads

Magnificent Mind Monday: Autism is a neurological variation. This means the brains of autistic people work differently than the brains of allistic (non-autistic) people - and that is amazing! We celebrated how amazing it is that our minds work in different and wonderful ways by wearing fun hats! Check out the full album on our Facebook page! #AutismAwareness #PESPantherPride

Congratulations to Paige for being chosen as the PES Book Reviewer of the Week! The book that she reviewed is called Karen’s School Picture. This is a Baby-Sitters Little Sisters Graphic Novel. She said it is about a girl that gets glasses and someone teases her. But when that person gets glasses, is she going to tease him or be nice? She gave it 5 stars. Paige has written ten book reviews this year! Way to go Paige! You can find this book in the Graphic Novels section of the Media Center. Congratulations!
