Our 7th gr. book club had an awesome time Skyping with author @Dusti_Bowling today! Thanks for sharing so many powerful insights into writing and publishing. #authorswhoskype #redbirdsread #middleschoollibrary

Should we try our 1st whole school read, host an author visit, and plan a family event all at once? Why not! So excited to begin celebrating Posted by John David Anderson next week with daily activities. Anderson visits & families celebrate with us 3/9! bit.ly/RedbirdsRead

We had an amazing 1st week celebrating Posted by John David Anderson. Recess activities included spreading kindness, D&D demo, origami, and book discussions. Looking forward to next week! Getting excited for Anderson’s visit & family night March 9! #oneschoolonebook #redbirdsrock

It was another excellent week DePere Middle School celebrating Posted by John David Anderson. This week we offered kindness bingo, #blackoutpoetry, and #chromemusiclab during recesses. One week left until our whole school & family celebration! #oneschoolonebook #middleschoollibrary

Inspired by Posted from John David Anderson DePere Middle School students left these surprises for other students to find tomorrow morning. Random lockers were also gifted with some extra sweet surprises. What a great way to celebrate Posted! #oneschoolonebook #middleschoollibrary
