Drop Everything and ReadFor the first 15 minutes of Period B each day, everyone in the school will read. So bring along the book you happen to be reading and enjoy! Looking for a book? .. then start your day with an early visit (7:45 to 8:25) to the library to sign out a book or pick up an extra newspaper or magazine there.
