Northport K8 PTO forges partnership with media center

Northport K-8 students in Susan Matteson’s eighth grade critical thinking class are selecting books to prepare to demonstrate enthusiastic reading with an engaging and lively pace with Lorri Lamm’s second graders. Students will pair together to read and enjoy new books. The brand new books are a product of the media center’s partnership with the Northport K-8 School PTO. The books were purchased through a community book fair called Titlewish. Titlewish is an online zone offered through Follett Book Company. The Titlewish program allows the parents, grandparents and community members to purchase library ready books. The Northport PTO donated $1,500 for exciting, new and up to date books for children. This positive promotion supports Northport’s goal of promoting a community atmosphere where literacy skills are at the forefront for students and families. Pictured are PTO members Suzi Scott, Jocelyn Hovey, Christine Hunsicker and Rosemary Lambert with the eighth graders.
