Have you read any of these ten books? They are this year's nominees for the Evergreen Young Adult Book Award. To be eligible to vote, just read at least two of these books and return you ballot to Mrs. Hightower by March 14. You can read more about each book - just look at the display in the library. I predict Twilight will win this year, but you never know how students will vote. Take the challenge and read some new books this year and don't forget to vote!
This blog from Cashmere High School's teacher librarian, Mrs. Linda Hightower, will feature book ideas, technology hints, and other study helps for the patrons of CHS. “What a school thinks about its library is a measure of what it feels about education.” ― Harold Howe

College? It's not too early to start thinking about it!
"Happy New Year!" Wow, 2008 is here and I'm finally getting back to this blog. I came across a very helpful website that could help you start thinking about college:

This website from Kent State University is fun and very teen friendly. There are videos to watch and links to insights on succeeding in college. You'll be in college before you know it. Get a head start and take a look at some good advice.
