Reading Advisory Council
The Reading Advisory Council (RAC) meets with Mrs. Eckery twice a month September through April to discuss, review, and decide on books that might be purchased for the Irving Media Center. RAC is usually made up of 12 students. Members are from 7th and 8th grade and have been recommended by the English or Language Arts teacher the previous year. When purchased, a sticker is placed on the inside of a book telling others that a member of the Reading Advisory Council recommends it. Some of the books that have been recommended are:
Gentle's Holler by Kerry Madden
Heaven Looks a lot like a Mall by Wendy Mass
Louisiana's Song also by Kerry Madden
Trapped by Peg Kehret
The White Giraffe by Lauren St. John
What a great group of students. I apprecite the time, effort and input they put into this program. This year's members are:
Ariel Blackman, Garrett Kallhoff, Nick Huggins, Ashley Izzo. Abby Cheesman, Joshua Jones, and Lauren Mautz.
