This book is perfect for you if you can't stop reading scary books! Iris is in a club, and she feel's like she's not getting credit for her work because of the color of her skin. In this story Iris and her best friend Daniel stumble across the graves of the nine forgotten kids; one of them returns from the dead and is eager to be recognized.... but she takes it too far! Would you like to find out how? Then you should read the Forgotten Girl. - Claire G - Grade 5

Happy reading, Glen Jede Principal May 27 - June 5 is Pride Week in Winnipeg. And at ESMS we are celebrating inclusiveness and diversity for the whole month of June. Our students have been working hard on creating the different flags that represent each of the different groups in the LGBTQ2S+ community. Please visit our library and check out the beautiful display of flags and books!
May 5th marks the day that we remember Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirited people that have been stolen, are missing or have been murdered. What is the REDress Project? It is an art project that remembers the lost women and girls by hanging empty red dresses in many places. In 2010, Jaime Black began the REDress Project, and has collected many dresses over the years. Each hangs emptily to show the absence of the victims. At ESMS we are wearing red and a red dress hangs in our library to remember & mourn for these victims and show that they are cared for and they matter. Find these titles in our library... The Reading Council of Greater Winnipeg has shared a wonderful 'I Love to Read' calendar that promotes literacy. ~ “I Love to Read Month” is a month long celebration that is held each year to encourage reading, writing, and sharing in the joy of literacy. This year’s theme is “Moving Forward with Hope”. This theme is meant to help readers understand different perspectives, develop compassion and move through these challenging times with empathy. As the world around us begins to recover, we too, need to move forward with renewed optimism as we forge a path of healing and reconciliation.
Please find the attached calendar to participate in our month long celebration of reading. I will have copies available in the library as well. Complete the calendar to the best of your ability and drop it off with Mrs. Stewart or Mrs. Frost for your chance to win a fun filled prize basket! (Please remember to write your name on the calendar - so that we know who the lucky winner is) The Manitoba Council for International Cooperation is giving students the opportunity to win a pizza party for their class!!
For every book students read from the provided reading list, they are eligible to enter the draw (up to a maximum of 5 entries per student, 1 entry per book). Wow!!! ESMS your support and enthusiasm for this year's book fair far exceeded my expectations. I had set a goal of reaching $2000 in sales and we reached $3000 in sales. Way to go!!! With that we have been able to add $ 500 in new books to the library from the product available at book fair and we have extra money to use towards new books in the new year. Your love of books and reading is amazing! Thank you again and I hope you all enjoy the new books you have bought and that will be added to our library shelves.
One of us is lying...
'One of us is Lying', written by Karen McManus, is a murder mystery. There are so many twists and turns. It is so hard to put down because it's so intriguing. It is about four high school students who are framed for murder. While in detention, Simon Kelleher takes a sip of water. He gets a really bad allergic reaction. An ambulance comes but it is too late. The police have reasons to believe that any of the students that were in detention together may by guilty. Was it murder? Or was it accidental? There is a sequel to this book, titled 'One of Us is Next', which may be a clue! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a mystery. ~ Kaitlin Vanwart, gr. 7 |
