  1. Sanford Middle School Celebrates

  2. International School Library Day • Registered our school on July 22, 2007, to create bookmarks for a school in another country. • Must send 500 bookmarks so that all of their participating students receive a bookmark • In this way, we can share information about our favorite books with students somewhere else in the world.

  3. Bookmark Requirements • Draw a picture or decoration representing a favorite book on the front. • Write the title, author & illustrator, and one or two lines about the book on the back of the bookmarks. • Can be any shape or style-be creative. • Only the best 500 will be shipped to our partner school, neatness is important!

  4. On September 7th, I received the following email: Dear Ms Henderson, How are you?  I am Helen Chan, the teacher-librarian of Lam Tin Methodist Primary School of Hong Kong. Nice to be your partnership school in the ISLD Bookmark Project.  500 student Bookmark will be sent to you by 22th October, 2007.  May I have your school address for the shipping?I am looking forward to receiving your reply soon!Regards,Helen

  11. Due to Government Intervention… • Population has decreased allowing our partnership school to return to a more traditional schedule. • Today students attend from 8:30 to 3:30 with a 30 minute lunch • No classes on Saturday!

School Year in Hong Kong • School begins on September 1st • 6 weeks for summer break • More holidays throughout the year Examples:10 days each for Christmas (Dec.) and the Chinese New Year (late Jan./early Feb.) 8 days for Easter (April) • Our students attend 185 days yearly • Lam Tin students attend 190 days
