My Project

The library should be a safe, comfortable environment at the center of a school. Our school's Library Media Center is no different! While the physical space is used for a variety of different purposes throughout the school day, it is primarily used for student studying, collaboration, and reading.

Our Book Club's purpose is to expand members' personal literary experiences by reading and discussing works chosen by the students in a friendly and open atmosphere.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he?

Our Book Club provides a safe and welcoming environment for teens to develop a life long interest in and appreciation for reading and learning. Our group of avid readers on campus has grown significantly the past three years! We are excited to continue into our fourth year of Book Club for the upcoming 24-25SY!

Ms. Bass will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by September 6.
